About the program
Reconnect provides early intervention case management and assertive outreach to young people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. This includes those affected by family breakdown, family violence, child abuse, or housing insecurity (e.g., overcrowding, poor quality housing).
We can help
- Stabilise and improve their housing situation
- Gain ID documents, like a photo ID or Medicare card
- Navigate complex systems, like Department of Housing or Services Australia
- Apply for private rentals
- Reconnect with family or informal support networks
- Reconnect with education, training, or employment
Our Youth Workers proactively engage with schools and other services that young people regularly attend or access to identify those in need and intervene early.
