Transition to Adulthood
Gold Coast Youth Service works with young people planning to or getting ready to transition from care.

To ensure they are not alone, help is available to young people aged 15 to 25 years who have been or are in formal care since their 12th birthday.

- Managing money and entitlements.
- Finding accommodation.
- Training, jobs and preparing a resume.
- Keeping safe, strong and healthy.
- Relationships, including family and friends.
- Legal advice.

Our Values
Social justice is about young people receiving a ‘fair go’ at the opportunities in life. It is about recognising that we are all different and respecting the inclusion and tolerance of all.
