Emergency support for young people facing hardship

Emergency Relief is available for young people aged 15–25 who are experiencing financial hardship. We can help with essential items and connect you to the right support services, quickly and without judgement.

What we provide

When you’re doing it tough, the basics can feel out of reach. We can help with essential items including food, toiletries, and basic necessities.

Our team can also connect you with information and referrals across housing and accommodation options, education and training pathways, mental health support, and financial counselling.

In 2025, we delivered over 250 emergency relief sessions to young people across Perth, because sometimes the most important thing we can do is make sure someone has what they need to take the next step.

Our approach

  • Person Centered

    You come first. Everything we do is guided by what you need and what matters to you.

  • Strengths Based

    We focus on what you’re capable of, encouraging self-determination and a positive outlook.

  • Social Justice

    Every young person deserves fair access to support, regardless of their circumstances.

  • Confidentiality

    Your privacy matters. We only share your information with your permission.

  • Empowerment

    We advocate for you and support you in pursuing your goals, interests, and rights.

  • Goal Orientated

    We’re here to help you take steps toward what you want to achieve, however big or small.
