Brisbane Youth Service (BYS) was founded in 1976 in response to the issue of youth homelessness and has grown from a single worker to more than 90 staff. We holistically support homeless and vulnerable young people aged between 12 and 25 years, and their children, to secure and maintain housing; address physical and mental health issues; establish successful relationships and support networks; and access pathways to education and employment. BYS has a long history of developing innovative services to respond to the identified needs of young people and young families. We are committed to evidence-informed practice and collaborative research and are accredited under the Human Services Quality Framework.
