The Newly-Arrived Youth Service (NAYS) is a specialist Reconnect Service that works with newly arrived young people and their families who have recently moved to Australia within the last 5 years.
The program helps to strengthen the family unit, and support families to address potential barriers that cause conflict, family breakdown and homelessness.
Qualified staff work with young people and their families to resolve conflict, connect them with learning and employment programs, empower them to stay in school when it gets tough and to find somewhere safe to stay if necessary.
The service offers free and confidential support, family mediation and access to other support services.
This specialist service helps newly arrived young people and refugees tackle some of the difficulties that come with settling in a new country.
