Many of the Young People living in Aged Care that we work with don’t have an electronic device. We want to provide the critical technology they need to access ongoing support throughout lockdown & beyond. Please help us!

Meet Nigel, our first Y-Work Program Participant!
Before the COVID-19 outbreak, our program team and Nigel had a ‘boys day’ - complete with a power session of employment coaching 💪🏼. We can’t wait to get back to face to face sessions when it’s safe! #YWork #YPIRAC #BoysDay
