Refer a student or young person for support

Please complete this form to refer a student or young person for counselling or youth worker support.

We provide prevention and early intervention support for young people aged 10 to 25 years and their families who live, work or study in the City of Bayside.

Please note, we are not a crisis service and should we decide a young person is too complex to offer support we will advocate for a more suitable service.

What is the process?

The information submitted on this form will be sent to the Youth Services Coordinator.

All referrals are discussed at weekly intake meetings and then our staff will make contact either to request further information or to arrange next steps.
