The Story of GCYS
Gold Coast Youth Service was formed at a public meeting in February 1980 after two Social Work graduates spent two months living in their cars and conducting a survey as to the need for such a service on the Gold Coast.
GCYS has been Human Services Quality Framework (HSQF) Accredited since 2017.
