yAsp Referrals

 

We provide free and confidential case management and group activities for young people aged 12–25 who self-identify as Aboriginal. We support young Aboriginal people experiencing a range of issues affecting their health and wellbeing by offering individual support that focuses on cultural safety and connection.

This service is available to young people living in the North of Tasmania, including Launceston and surrounding areas.

Please note that we do not hold a waitlist for case management, so we encourage you to contact our Triage Team to check current availability before submitting a referral.

When completing the referral form, please provide as much detail as possible in response to each question to assist us in understanding and supporting the young person’s needs. Referrals can only progress if the young person is aware of the referral, gives their consent, and is available to speak with our triage team.

We aim to respond to all referrals within 3 days. If you have any questions or require further information, please don’t hesitate to contact.
