One‑third of the young people we support (aged 12–25) are parents, caring for young children while facing homelessness and complex trauma themselves. Young parents need support that recognises both their own needs and their children’s.

Brisbane Youth Service offers individualised support, parenting groups, and a program for young dads, helping them stay connected, build parenting skills, and strengthen family safety and wellbeing. Our Safe Young Mums and Bubs Program provides specialised accommodation and intensive, wraparound support for young mums or pregnant people experiencing homelessness and domestic, family or sexual violence, and their babies.

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.

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.
