BYS is very proud to present you our new short film. In it youth workers and five extraordinary young people describe our day to day work, and the new futures that young people are creating for themselves. Many thanks to the staff and young people involved and to our very talented videographer, Ben Ashmole, who donated weeks of his time working on this lovely production.
April 2025 service update There is very high demand for emergency accommodation for young people and young families in Brisbane. We are working hard to create more options, but many nights, all beds are at capacity.

Appointments only during other opening hours
Our Intake and Brief Intervention team work very hard to support young people with immediate and emergency housing however options are extremely limited due to available emergency accommodation. Unfortunately, presenting or being directed to our service does not guarantee a place to stay. We understand this is frustrating, and we will do our best to support you. When you arrive, we’ll talk through your options, which may include housing if available. We may also provide food, transport, referrals, and other help that fits your needs.
Working together to find solutions
We’re working with other organisations to better coordinate support in Brisbane and South-East Queensland. Adding your name to the Brisbane Zero By-Name List helps make your situation visible and keeps you a priority for housing. A youth worker can help you do this when you visit.
