What we're about

Cockburn Youth Services is committed to ensuring that the voice of all young people in Cockburn is heard.  It is essential that any decisions that are made in Cockburn include the needs and opinions of young people.

The City provides a range of programs for both individuals and groups to address the needs of young people in Cockburn.  We do this by speaking regularly to young people and the community, facilitating the Youth Advisory Council and by working closely with other agencies.

Youth Work

The City receives funding from the Department of Child Protection and the Department of Corrective Service to employ two full time youth workers and one part-time youth worker to support young people in Cockburn aged 10 - 18 years and their families. The Service provides individual case management, information, advocacy and support as well as group programmes for young people up to the age of 24.  Group programmes are developed in response to community needs and can include young parents groups, young mens and young womens groups, health and relationships workshops, independent living skills and other programs to enhance youth participation and engagement.

Being a mobile service, the youth workers are able to meet with young people in any location that is convenient and safe. Some of the things the service supports young people with include family conflict, difficulties at school, relationships, feeling down, problems with alcohol and other drugs, accommodation, education, training and employment, income support or legal issues.
