Our Clinic is for young people who already have a link with Brisbane Youth Service. For example, you might be in one of our programs, or you have visited before and spoken to a worker. It is designed for young people who find it hard to get health care anywhere else.
Your worker may also refer you to the Clinic and our other Health Services.

Mental Health, Alcohol, and Other Drugs Support
Our Mental Health and Alcohol and Other Drugs (MHAOD) work recognises that young people often experience mental health challenges and substance use together. Our approach brings these supports together, working alongside young people with coordinated, trauma-informed care that responds to their goals, strengths, and needs.
Specialised Mental Health Program
This program provides support to young people with complex and acute mental health needs and experience of homelessness. Our psychologists tailor support to each young person’s needs, with a focus on stabilisation, recovery, and ongoing connection to care.
The team offers support with:
- comprehensive mental health assessments
- therapeutic interventions
- referral and links to other services.

BYS’s Alcohol and Other Drugs program supports young people dealing with substance use and its impacts on their lives.
This program offers:
- case management
- counselling
- outreach services
- a safe needle and syringe program
