Murgon-Cherbourg Youth Hub Service Update

(Department of Education)

The Youth Hub commenced service delivery late in 2021, and has reopened for 2022.  The Youth Hub is a purpose built facility on the grounds of Murgon State High School, accessed via Gore Street. The Youth Hub provides a coordinated service approach for all young people, aged 10-24, across Cherbourg, Murgon and South Burnett communities to enhance mental health and wellbeing, and provide opportunities for improved school success and post-school outcomes. A range of services are available at the Youth Hub to meet the health and social needs of young people (please see the service schedule for further information).

Due to the current Covid-19 situation, services are currently offering remote/telehealth appointments. The GP in Schools program will commence on 24 January 2022, and provides free access to a GP for secondary school students (please contact the Youth Hub to schedule appointments).  If a young person would like to have a yarn with someone, service referral information is attached in the service schedule. Kids Helpline (1800 55 1800, kidshelpline.com.au) and Beyond Blue (1300 22 4636, www.beyondblue.org.au/getsupport), are also available 24/7. We will inform you of any  further changes to service delivery.

If you require assistance with accessing a service or have any questions, please contact Gaye O’Sullivan or Matthew Malone  at the Youth Hub on 41729728 or MurgonCherbourgYouthHub@qed.qld.gov.au.
