Youth Health Services

 

Our Youth and Community Worker supports young people (aged 12-25 years) to identify their needs and goals for achieving healthy wellbeing and connection.

They work with young people individually or in groups, offering a safe space for meaningful conversations or through tailored programs that build skills improving physical, mental and social health and wellbeing. They can provide information, referrals and link young people in with our services or community other services that support:

  • Mental, physical and sexual health.
  • Improved social connection.
  • Accessing food, accommodation and other support services in the area.
  • Accessing health services for themselves and/or family members.
  • Applying for your own Medicare card, proof of age card and benefits (where relevant).
  • Increasing capacity and confidence to access health and wellbeing services in the community.
