Youth support service

ICYS Ipswich Community Youth Service - Empowering Tomorrow Decisions

here to help

The youth support system can often be complex and daunting to navigate. To help you to understand the support available to young people in our community, ICYS provides the Ipswich Youth Support Service (IYSS) and the Regional Youth Support Service (RYSS).

These programs assess the needs of a young person, provide individualised case management support, share information about specialist services they can access and refer appropriately.  Both IYSS and RYSS provide individual one-on-one support to young people in the context of their family and community. 

  • Our Ipswich and Regional Youth Support Service (IYSS & RYSS) supports young people aged 12-21 years who live in suburbs of Ipswich and the Somerset and Lockyer Valley region. Youth support workers within these teams work directly with young people and provide practical support that meet the individual needs and goals of young people. 


  • The youth support workers can help you if you are having difficulties with your family and friends, housing, school, work and/or youth justice matters etc. 


  • If you are wanting support you can call or visit the ICYS office and refer yourself. Otherwise, another adult can do this for you. 


  • If you are an external service you can complete our Third-Party Referral form or you can directly contact the IYSS Team Leader on yss@icys.org.au 


If you believe you need the assistance of our IYSS or RYSS staff, please connect with us.
