The Humanitarian Youth Project targets recently arrived young people of migrant, humanitarian and refugee backgrounds aged 12 to 24 years. The project provides culturally sensitive casework and referral services to encourage the clients’ orientation, settlement and integration into the mainstream Australian community. It enables clients to access relevant services and create links with other services in the area that can assist during their settlement period. Services include information in groups, school excursions, community gatherings, sports and recreational activities.
Areas of coverage include access to education, accommodation, employment and training, sports and recreation, health, camping, counselling and mental health to help them understand Australia better.
