Petrea King and Quest for Life Foundation

Petrea King and Quest for Life Foundation Providing skills & strategies to empower people, organisations, communities in crises to heal

Founded by Petrea King in 1989, the Quest for Life Foundation provides intensive educational programs and workshops that encourage and empower people with the tools to create emotional resilience, healing and peace of mind. Assisting people from all walks of life we provide a proven, effective and holistic approach to physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Set in 9 acres of landscaped gardens, the Quest for Life Centre provides an oasis for time out and an ideal environment for reflection, healing and the learning of new and valuable life skills. Thousands of people journey to the Centre to find a safe haven in which to begin or continue their healing journey. The Centre also provides an opportunity to intensively train facilitators, therapists, counsellors, nurses, doctors and other professionals from around Australia. As a charity, Quest is committed to making programs accessible to everyone in need of them and has DG1 status. It is often those who can least afford our programs who need them the most. Please consider helping Quest reach more people by making a donation or a gift in your will.

“While my beautiful daughters are too young to truly understand why dad attended Moving Beyond Trauma, what they do know is how beautiful their Rainbow Bears are. Here they are, surrounded by natures beauty, looking over Guthega Dam in the Snowy Mountains.”
- Brendon, recent Moving Beyond Trauma participant

We’re so heartened to know our Sookie Rainbow Bears make such an indelible impression — especially on children. These cuddly companions are more than just soft toys; they’re a reminder of hope, healing, and connection to those we hold dear. 🌈💛

If you’d like to share a little love and comfort, consider purchasing a Rainbow Bear for someone special: https://bit.ly/47tmGQW

Each bear helps support the work we do here at Quest for Life. 🐻

This past weekend, Wendy and Nicki proudly represented the Quest for Life Foundation at the Mental Health Forum & Expo hosted by the Rotary Club of Camden.

Held at the Camden Civic Centre, the event brought together community members, support providers, and expert speakers to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and share vital information on mental health and wellbeing. ✨

🎙️Wendy also scored a radio interview with 100.3 FM (pictured)! What a fantastic opportunity to share Quest’s message of healing and hope with the wider community.

We’re grateful to be part of events like this that align so deeply with our mission to support healing, resilience, and hope.

Thank you to the Rotary Club of Camden for this opportunity to be part of such an inspiring event. 🙏

Check out the clever mesh coverings recently added to our garden beds to help keep out the rabbits and other curious critters! 🐇🌱

Constructed by our new Caretaker, Warren, these additions are helping protect our growing veggies and herbs — ensuring our kitchen stays well-stocked with fresh, garden-to-table goodness for our program participants. 🍽️

We love when simple solutions make a big difference — especially when they’re built with such care. 💚

After recently stepping away from a fast-paced executive career, Michele knew it was time to reconnect with herself and redefine her next chapter.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who supported Quest for Life at the Bowral Classic last weekend — whether you donated, cheered us on, or popped by the village to say hello. Your kindness and connection meant the world to us. 🚴‍♀️

A very special shoutout to all those who rode for Quest in the event — powering through every kilometre to raise vital funds for those navigating trauma, grief, and serious illness. And a very special thank you to our own PedalQuesters team:
🧡 Neil Gripper, Quest General Manager, and his wife Jane; and
👊 Kane Piper (brother of our Partnerships Manager, Candice)
You’ve made a meaningful difference and inspired us all.

Together, we managed to raise over $3,600 for Quest for Life, so we can continue to help more people move from surviving to thriving. A very proud moment. 💪
