Youth
Support Coordinators work closely with young people on a voluntary
basis and in conjunction with a range of community agencies, can make
referrals to access the most appropriate support services. We can
provide information, support, advocacy and referrals to young people who
may be experiencing a range of issues, that are impacting their
engagement, including:
- School attendance
- Financial barriers or difficulties
- Relationship issues
- Family conflict or changes
- School related issues
Youth
Support Coordinators aim to support young people to remain engaged in
education or transition into other training or employment. Youth Support
Coordinators also facilitate group work and community programs in
partnership with the school and other community support agencies to
ensure that the emotional and social support needs of young people and
their families are addressed.

- Confidential individual support and case management to maximise engagement with education
- Interagency liaison and referrals for at risk students
- Accepts referrals from the Student Welfare Action Team.
