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.
We’re nearly 50!
Since 1977, Brisbane Youth Service has walked alongside young people facing disadvantage and homelessness. Almost five decades on, our mission remains: helping Brisbane’s young people shape new futures. As we approach our golden jubilee in 2027, we invite you to join us in celebrating the achievements and resilience of young people, listening to their voices, and driving lasting change, together.

There remains a very high demand for support for young people and young families in Brisbane. We are working hard to create more options, but many nights, all beds are at capacity.
We may not be able to answer your call immediately, but if you leave a message with your name, age, and the reason for calling, we’ll return your call as soon as possible.
If you need support, we offer a walk-in service in the afternoons.
🚶➡️Current walk-in hours
📅 Monday – Friday
⏰ 1 – 4 pm
Unfortunately, presenting 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 discuss your options, which may include housing if available. We may also provide food, transport, crisis support, referrals, and other help that fits your needs.
