Youth Health Services

Works in collaboration with key stakeholders, relevant agencies and young people both within and external to the health sector to enhance access to appropriate health services by youth.

Many young people face significant challenges in relation to their health and wellbeing. Young people also do not fit neatly into mainstream health services that often target adults or children and they require health services that are creative, diverse and responsive to their particular needs.

The Area Youth Health Coordinator is responsible for developing and maintaining an area wide coordinated approach to youth health care in order to enhance young people’s access to health services. Primary functions of the role include working in collaboration with key stakeholders, relevant agencies and young people both within and external to the health sector and facilitating and supporting youth health activities and projects.
