Our organisation was originally founded in the late 1980’s to meet the needs of ‘at risk’ and homeless young people within the Goodna area. The agency was incorporated in 1992 as Goodna Youth Accommodation Service Inc (GYAS). Since this time the service has expanded and widened its client focus and in 2020 took on its present name of Queensland Youth and Families Support Servicess (QYFSS) to reflect these changes.
At QYFSS we strive to learn and continually improve. Resolving homelessness is the responsibility of: governments; the community; families and individuals
Respect: QYFSS respect the rights of young people to maintain their privacy, expect honesty and to be fully informed of the decisions affecting them.
Inclusiveness: QYFSS ensures people who might otherwise be excluded or marginalised are provided with equal access to resources, decision making and life options.
Social Justice: QYFSS believe in the principles of social justice and autonomy of the young people we provide services to. Social justice principles refer to values “that favour measures that aim at decreasing or eliminating inequity, promoting inclusiveness of diversity, and establishing environments that are supportive of all people.
No it does not. All services are free to young people in need.
We are funded to support young people aged 8 - 25 years old depending on the program. Several programs are community based and open to all ages. Contact 3818 1050 for more details.
