To enable young people, especially those who are marginalised and without voice to improve their quality of life.

We provide help and reassurance to those experiencing life challenges that include: physical and emotional abuse, alcohol and drug abuse, homelessness, low literacy, long-term unemployment and mental illness. We recognise that each person is unique, with their own needs. To help address this, we provide a wide range of services. We offer one-on-one counselling to thousands of young people and their families via our Kids Helpline and Parentline telephone and online help services. Young people can also obtain work, gain valuable work experience, training, learn life skills and at the same time, receive counselling support to deal with their individual life challenges. We assist more than 2,500 young people access training and employment, helping them build a brighter future, while providing accommodation and support to more than 80 families who are homeless or need support due to domestic violence. Thanks to BoysTown hundreds of young people develop improved life skills through programs on budgeting, parenting, cooking, conflict resolution, communication and healthy relationships.
