Youth Services
Healthcare for Young People Facing Homelessness
Being young should be a time of opportunity, connection, and hope. But for many young people experiencing homelessness, couch surfing, family breakdown, or housing instability, accessing healthcare can feel overwhelming.
At Homeless Healthcare, we provide trauma-informed healthcare and support for young people aged up to 25 who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Through our Youth Street Health program and our partnership with Passages Youth Engagement Hub, we deliver healthcare where young people feel safe, welcome, and supported.
Our goal is simple: to remove barriers to healthcare and ensure every young person has access to compassionate, respectful, and ongoing support.
Youth Street Health
Breaking Barriers to Healthcare
Youth Street Health is a dedicated outreach service focused on improving the health and wellbeing of young people experiencing homelessness across Perth.
With the generous support of the Stan Perron Foundation and JP Stratton Group, Youth Street Health brings together a multidisciplinary team including a Registered Nurse and Caseworker from Homeless Healthcare, working alongside youth outreach workers from Anglicare WA's Street Connect and Vinnies WA's Passages Engagement Hub.
We support young people who are:
Sleeping rough
Couch surfing
Living in unstable or temporary accommodation
At risk of homelessness
Disconnected from healthcare and support services
Many of the young people we work with are navigating complex challenges, including:
Mental health concerns
Alcohol and other drug issues
Family conflict and relationship breakdown
Gender identity and sexuality concerns
Neurodiversity-related needs
Experiences of trauma, abuse, or neglect
Our team takes the time to build trust, listen without judgement, and provide healthcare that meets young people where they are—both physically and emotionally.
Passages Youth Engagement Hub Mobile Clinic
Healthcare in a Safe and Welcoming Space
HHC Passages Clinic
Tuesdays 1pm-4pm
Homeless Healthcare operates a regular mobile clinic at Passages Youth Engagement Hub, providing young people with easy access to healthcare in an environment they already know and trust.
Passages is a youth-focused engagement hub that supports young people aged 12–25 who are experiencing homelessness, hardship, or disconnection from their community. The service offers a safe, non-judgemental space where young people can access practical support, referrals, and essential services.
At our mobile clinic, young people can access:
General health assessments
Treatment for illness and injury
Mental health support
Sexual and reproductive health care
Health education and advice
Referrals to specialist health services
Support navigating the healthcare system
By bringing healthcare directly to Passages, we reduce barriers such as transport, cost, stigma, and anxiety, making it easier for young people to get the care they need when they need it.
How We Work
Youth-Centred. Trauma-Informed. Person-Led.
We recognise that every young person's story is different.
Our team works collaboratively with young people to identify their health needs, goals, and priorities. We understand that building trust takes time, and we provide care that is:
Safe and welcoming
Non-judgemental
Trauma-informed
Flexible and accessible
Inclusive and culturally respectful
We also work closely with housing, mental health, education, employment, alcohol and other drug, and youth support services to help young people achieve broader wellbeing outcomes.
Need Support?
If you are a young person experiencing homelessness, couch surfing, sleeping rough, or worried about your housing situation, help is available.
You do not need a Medicare card, a referral, or a fixed address to speak with our team.
