Helping you to find safe, affordable housing.
I’m really enjoying life, thanks to you guys.
Couldn’t have done it without you.

Open Door Youth is celebrating 40 years of Service helping young people to find a home.
We can work with you to find a home if you:
+ are on a low income
+ are disadvantaged
+ are managing mental health
+ are newly arrived in Australia
+ have complex needs
+ are aged between 16 and 25.
We’re here for you.
We work with young people who are 16-25, on a low income, managing their mental health and/or have complex needs. As our client, you are at the centre of everything we do.
We welcome young First Nations, LGBTIQA+, young people with disabilities and young people who are newly arrived in Australia.
Open Door is for young people who want to work towards independence. And, our service is free!
If you have nowhere to go, we can help. If you can’t stay where you are because of overcrowding, financial stress, family violence, or other tenancy issues, we’re here for you.
We can help you find a home and keep it.
We can give you practical help to find safe, affordable housing, or to stay safely at home.
We can also help you to learn the skills that you need to become a successful, independent tenant.
We’ve been helping young people to find housing for over 40 years. We can work together with you to find a housing option that suits your needs.
Talk to one of our friendly staff about your Housing options.
We will treat you with respect.
We acknowledge your right to make your own choices and decisions. You will be treated with confidentiality, dignity and respect, at all times.
We will mould our support around what you tell us your individual support needs are. We know that your support needs may be low, medium or high and may change over time. This means your support period may vary from one-off support, a few months support, or from one to three years.
We will always seek your consent to work with you and anyone in your support network, such as mental health workers, counsellors and other support people you choose.
We will support you to reach your goals towards independence and to becoming a successful tenant.
