YAC offers free legal services, youth support and family support assistance and services to young people generally 10 to 18 years (inclusive) particularly those who are involved in, or are at risk of involvement in, the youth justice and/or the child protection systems, and/or are homeless or at risk of homelessness and live in or around the greater Brisbane region (Caboolture to Beenleigh, Ipswich across to Redland Bay). We provide more limited support to those under 10 and over 18 years of age; and to young people outside of Brisbane via telephone, website and publications. YAC provides an integrated and holistic service response to young people which is voluntary and confidential. YAC also helps to link young people up with other services in the community that can assist them where appropriate.
