Brisbane Youth Service (BYS) is a community-based organisation that works with homeless or at-risk young people aged 12-25 years.

Now in our 32nd year of operation in 2009, BYS has provided long-term assistance to help young people understand their situation and make more positive choices. Our comprehensive services range across several levels of immediacy and intensity from basic needs such as food and showers through to intensive personal support.

Our organisation consists of volunteers, specialised youth workers, doctors, nurses and mental health workers amongst others in order to assist homeless and at-risk youth in any way, shape or form.

Our Young Families Team has relocated!

The Young Families Team is now operating at 96 Breakfast Creek Road, Newstead, QLD 4006.

A huge amount of time and effort has been put into the new premises by Susie Turner and Helen Wright to upgrade it from an old and unused Queenslander into a vibrant and fully functional house suitable for a workplace. Thanks also to all the other members of the Young Families Team for their creative input and support. A special thanks to Lynda Kypriadakis who volunteered her time and expertise to assist BYS in negotiating the terms and conditions of the lease.

NATIONAL YOUTH WEEK 2009

As part of National Youth Week in 2009, some of our valued youth made a short movie on what it's like being homeless, what they have learnt from being on the streets and give some wise words of advice to others who may be, or follow in their footsteps. You can watch them on BYS Clients Make Movies.
