NDIS Support Services
YRC works alongside young people to create culturally safe and supportive pathways into work. We focus on building foundational skills, confidence and community connection to help young people gain and sustain employment.
We work in collaboration with local hairdressers and barbers who provide free and/or subsidised haircuts and grooming services. We build strong relationships with community businesses that live and breathe the YRC values to ensure our young people are in welcoming and culturally safe environments.
The Centre is a culturally safe space where young people can connect, learn and grow. It's a home away from home - a place where every young person is valued, supported and encouraged to reach their full potential. Through programs, peer connection and mentorship, The Centre fosters belonging, resilience and community pride.
Live Case Studies
Our live case studies provide real-time insights into the outcomes and effectiveness of our culturally responsive programs.
These weekly updates highlight measurable progress and success stories of young people and their families as they work toward personal growth, community engagement and long term stability.
Each case study demonstrates the practical application and positive impact of our approaches in supporting young people and strengthening community connections.
