Young Mums and Bubs

Young Mums and Bubs (Young Mums Housing Support Service) is designed to support pregnant and parenting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women aged 25 years and younger who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. The program focuses on helping young mothers secure stable housing and maintain their tenancies by addressing key challenges they may face.

Through practical in-home support, advocacy, and case coordination, the program provides essential guidance, information, and advice to assist young mums in navigating their housing journey. Additionally, referrals to relevant support services ensure they receive the necessary assistance for their individual circumstances.

For those in immediate need, crisis accommodation offers temporary support, providing a safe and stable environment for young mothers and their children. However, this accommodation is extremely limited and may not always be immediately available.

Who is this service for?

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women who:

  • Are 25 years and younger
  • Are pregnant and/or parenting
  • Are sleeping rough
  • Living in an improvised dwelling
  • Coach surfing
  • At risk of losing their tenancy
