Frontyard helps young people who are homeless or in need of support. It is now the biggest service centre of its type in Melbourne's central business district, containing eight co-located services within the one building.
Frontyard Youth Services is a collection of services that work together to address the physical, emotional and social needs of young people aged up to 25 years who spend time in the Melbourne CBD and who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Some of the Services also work with young people across the whole of Melbourne and Victoria.
Frontyard Services seek to provide young people with choices that contribute to their health and future well-being and, where possible, return them to their community of origin. Most services are drop-in so no appointment is necessary (but Frontyard is not a 'drop in' centre where young people can come to just hang out).
These services work together to address the physical, emotional and social needs of young people aged up to 25 years. The City of Melbourne , Department of Human Services and Melbourne Citymission form a partnership that shares a commitment to and responsibility for Frontyard Youth Services. Additionally each service brings a range of sponsorship and funding sources to the Frontyard partnership.
