Oasis Youth Services Tuggeranong

Oasis Youth Services is a partnership between Salvation Army - Oasis Youth Services and Canberra Youth Residential Service (CYRS). Oasis Youth Services provides emergency accommodation and support to young people. Accommodation is provided in each of the Canberra Regions (Tuggeranong, Weston Creek, North Canberra and Belconnen).

Youth homelessness is often invisible. Young people are the most common group to experience couch surfing. This means they are in temporary living situations with friends, relatives or even complete strangers. If you are experiencing homelessness – or are at risk of becoming homeless, we can help you find and sustain safe, suitable and affordable housing.

We have a strong focus on prevention and early intervention. Some of the responses at our services include:

• A broad range of accommodation and housing options – find what you need, including crisis and transitional accommodation, supported residential care, independent living units and education focused housing
• Community-based outreach programs – supporting young people and their families, young parents and young people leaving care
• Life and living skills programs – develop lifelong skills that promote independence
• Holistic case management – supporting young people in: developing healthy relationships; engaging in education, training and employment pathways; enhancing health and wellbeing; and improving social connections
