Wayne Merret, Frontyard’s General Manager, said Frontyard aims to positively impact the lives of young people every day, creating new opportunities and possibilities through innovative programs and service delivery.

“Frontyard provides integrated, responsive services for young people who are experiencing or who are at-risk of homelessness.

“The Frontyard redevelopment aims to reduce the number of youth sleeping rough, improve their utilisation of services and break the cycle of entrenched adult homelessness.”

This rebuilt facility will provide better accommodation with ‘active’ night shifts to meet the multiple needs of young people. Clinicians with specialist mental health, drug and alcohol, and other expertise will be part of the core team, all with the aim of supporting young people to get their lives back on track.
