BCH Youth Housing and Homelessness Services Now Co‑Located with headspace Ballarat

Working together to support young people

Ballarat Community Health (BCH) has strengthened its commitment to supporting young people experiencing or at risk of homelessness by bringing its youth housing and homelessness services together under one roof with headspace Ballarat.

The new co-location creates a collaborative and community‑focused space where young people can access integrated support across housing, health and wellbeing—making it easier to get the right help, in the right place, at the right time.
