Malcolm’s Youth Hostel

At our hostel, we aim to equip young people with essential life skills to ensure their successful transition to independent living. Through personalized plans and one-on-one case management, we support their growth and development in various areas:

Tenancy Skills: Completing Tenancy Skills Training to become responsible tenants and coexist harmoniously with housemates.

Cooking Skills: Learning basic meal planning, budgeting, preparation, and cooking techniques, with a few “go-to” recipes upon leaving.

Cleaning Skills: Developing routines for cleaning and washing, and participating in a chore schedule with guidance from staff.

Community Living Skills: Engaging in community events and groups to build connections and develop social and life skills.

Budgeting Skills: Accessing income support and creating a budget to plan for the future.

We also support young people in achieving their educational and vocational goals, whether they are in school, at TAFE, working, or learning to drive. Our ultimate aim is to help them gain the skills and confidence needed to succeed in their own accommodation.
