Youth Support Services

Our Youth Support Service provides case management services to vulnerable young people aged between 8 and 21 years-of age who are experiencing disadvantage or at risk of disconnection. We also work with 8 to 11-years-old if they have a sibling who is an active service participant.

The service is funded by the Department of Children, Youth Justice and Multicultural Affairs

Youth Support Services are tailored to the individual young person’s needs.  While it is not time-limited, it is purposeful. It works towards achieving goals to enable young people to develop skills and resilience to lead healthy and fulfilling lives.

Our youth support workers can help a young person to:

• Connect with family and community
• Find safe, stable places to live
• Engage in education and/or training
• Engage in employment
• Maintain physical & mental health; and
• Access other support agencies & specialist services based on their interests and needs

Young at-risk people are eligible for support under this program if they are:

• Homeless or at risk of homelessness
• Not at school and not working or at risk of disengaging
• Engaged with Youth Justice or Child Safety or at risk of it
• Disconnected from family and community; and/or
• In need of support with physical/mental health
