About Transformations Gold Coast – Surfers Paradise

Transformations Gold Coast is a faith-supported, peer-based live-in recovery programme on a therapeutic community model at Monaco Street, Surfers Paradise, operated by Transformations Program Australia.

The campus has operated at this location for more than 20 years and is led by a campus director. A four-week assessment phase opens the programme, followed by four stages.

Individual counselling with trauma and addiction specialists is arranged where appropriate, and peer support, relapse prevention, family therapy, exercise and nutrition and vocational support are listed.

How Much Does Treatment at Transformations Gold Coast Cost?

Published prices for Transformations Gold Coast weren’t found. Centrelink eligibility is listed as an entry requirement for the 12-month programme, but no fee, contribution rate or deposit is published, and private health insurance, NDIS and WorkCover are not listed either. Typical Queensland residential costs run A$10,000 to A$30,000 a month.

Contact the admissions team for pricing tailored to your needs and to ask how the stay is funded week by week, what residents are expected to contribute from Centrelink payments, and what the work component and healthy living curriculum involve. Detox has to be completed elsewhere, so budget for that separately.

Transformations Gold Coast Reviews

Reviews of Transformations Gold Coast from around the web are limited, and the comment that exists tends to cover the wider Transformations programme across its campuses rather than this one. RehabSeekers hosts reviews for the service, and anyone who has lived in the Monaco Street houses can share their experience.

A 12-month commitment is a big decision, so first-hand detail matters: how the four-week assessment phase worked, what daily life in the separate men’s and women’s houses was like, how the work therapy and group sessions were run, and what support followed after the final stage.

This program saved and changed my little brother’s life …. THANK YOU 🙏 everyone in this program is strong a resilient. Therefore they provide not only hope for those in recovery but teach them how to rehabilitate and… learn discipline! 🙏

Emity Thomas1 year ago

My experience with this program was unfortunately disappointing. While Transformations presents itself as a place of healing through spirituality, I found the environment to be overly focused on rigid Pentecostal… beliefs rather than offering genuine support or understanding for individuals in recovery. The approach felt patronizing and judgmental. Rather than being treated as a person working through pain, you’re often portrayed as someone whose struggles are the result of sin, and if you don’t fully conform to their religious view, you may be met with judgment or made to feel like an outsider. Recovery is deeply personal, and for me, the lack of emotional safety, compassion, and flexibility made it difficult to grow. Everyone’s journey is different, and this program may work for some — but it was not the supportive, non-judgmental space I was hoping for.

Ksenia and the team leads with heart and purpose. The work she’s doing through Transformations is thoughtful, well-structured, and genuinely impactful. We love supporting them. It’s great to see someone delivering real… value in this space.

Transformations Program Australia is an outstanding organisation that genuinely cares about its residents. The management team goes above and beyond to support individuals through every stage of their journey, providing… not just structure, but real, heartfelt care and love. What stands out the most is seeing the incredible changes in the people who go through the program. It’s truly inspiring to watch, especially when you see graduates looking back on their progress—many are unrecognisable from when they started. This is not just about recovery; it’s about rebuilding lives. Last year alone, they helped over 300 people find a new path and regain hope for their futures. It’s clear that their approach works, and their commitment to making a difference is real. If you or someone you know needs support, I wholeheartedly recommend this program—it really can save lives.

This place changed my life. I had never experienced community prior to volunteering here and I’m blessed to say I have made lifelong friends and mentors. In my opinion, there is no program that can compare to… Transformations. If freedom is what you want, this is the place to go. Thank you to the staff and the resident who make this community so rich! 🤍

Katie Hailes2 years ago

When I arrived at Transformations in 2023, I was struggling with addiction feeling broken, battered, and unable to see any light at the end of the tunnel. But during my time here, the incredible staff and volunteers… truly loved me back to life. They helped me see myself through God‘s eyes - as someone who is loved, Worthy and forgiven. I can’t recommend this place enough for anyone seeking real hope and a way out of addiction.

★★★★★
Anne Mcintyre2 years ago

This program provided a safe space for me to really look at my behaviors and make real changes. I felt unworthy of love and carried so much guilt. Before transformations, my life had no purpose and I was beginning to… believe I would die in addiction. Now I feel alive, I have hope, and my life has been miraculously transformed. If you want real recovery from addiction, I highly recommend Transformations. Anne Mcintyre

I am a gay man who was accepted into this program. After 13 months I was told to “find a woman who likes to wear a strap-on” and when I told them that my sexuality wasn’t up for discussion I was booted from the program… and shunned by the church. I have struggled with my faith and my sexuality ever since. Transformations did more damage to me than my drug use ever did.

★★★★★
Ashley Bottrell4 years ago

Great program! Initially, it was challenging to let go of my old lifestyle, how I used to do things and my old identity. I have personally graduated the program in 2015 and have never looked back. I have a great… relationship with my daughter, married to a beautiful person, have bought a house and have great relationships with good people. It has changed my life and I am forever grateful for the journey of change I have been on.

Transformations has a culture of honor and love. I’m deeply grateful for what they have done in my life and my families lives. If you know someone or you yourself are battling addiction, brokenness, then having a place… that extends Grace, Hope and love like Transformations is just what they/ you need….
