Broughton House Youth Refuge

About Broughton House Youth Refuge

Broughton House is located in Albury and provides crisis accommodation for up to 6 young people aged between 15 and 18 years old, as well as outreach support for young people aged between 15 and 25.

Broughton House is staffed 24hrs a day 7 days a week so there is always support available during your stay from experienced youth workers.

The team at Broughton House will work with you to stay connected with family, friends, school and the community. Sometimes you might just need a short ‘time out’ and the opportunity to work on some issues with your family.

If you’re unable to live at home, we can support you to get ready for living independently through our ‘Housing Ready’ program, where we’ll work with you to learn skills around signing a lease, cooking, cleaning, budgeting, paying bills, and everything else you’ll need to live independently successfully.

Case Management

Young people accessing our accommodation services partner with a case manager who will talk to you about your situation, help you develop some goals for the future and support you in achieving these goals.

Our team of case managers also provide support to young people on an outreach basis, meaning you don’t have to be staying at the refuge to get the support you need.

If we have a vacancy and you are unsure about staying at Broughton House, please call us to arrange a tour with one of our staff. Depending on your situation and what’s happening in the house at the time, we can sometimes be flexible in terms of age and length of stay, so please contact us if you have any questions about this. We work hard to make sure our accommodation services are a ‘homelike’ environment and would encourage you to have a chat with our staff if you’re feeling uncertain about using the service.
