WHO IS YOUTURN?
WELCOME TO OUR 2025 ANNUAL REPORT
Board Chair Mitch Evans and Youturn CEO James Blevin extend their personal welcome and thanks.
WHAT WE DO
Youturn supports people through life’s most difficult challenges, with programs spanning housing and homelessness, community and family support, mental health and wellbeing, and suicide postvention.
Our work is trauma-informed and culturally responsive, placing people and their support networks at the centre. By working across disciplines and sectors, we aim not only to help people recover, but to create the conditions for individuals, families and communities to thrive.
*These figures represent the total number of people who received at least one service between 1 July 2024 and 30 June 2025.
COMMUNITY & FAMILY
Youturn’s Community Services, are focused on creating safe, stable and supportive environments for individuals and families across the regions we serve.
CHILD SAFETY
We provide tailored family support designed to strengthen relationships, build parenting capacity, and ensure children and young people have safe and nurturing environments in which to grow
HOMELESSNESS
We deliver wrap-around case management for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness, helping them access and sustain long-term housing.
MENTAL HEALTH & WELLBEING
Youturn delivers a wide range of mental health and wellbeing services that place early intervention, accessibility and comprehensive support at the forefront.
Supporting people of all ages, our Suicide Bereavement Counselling Service helps individuals strengthen resilience, improve wellbeing and stay connected, through case management, group programs and community-based support.
POSTVENTION
Established by Youturn in 2002, StandBy Support After Suicide began as a community response to suicide on the Sunshine Coast and has since grown into a respected national program. StandBy supports anyone bereaved or impacted by suicide — individuals, families, friends, witnesses, first responders, and service providers — at any stage of their life.
OUR PEOPLE
Our people are at the core of the work we do and the difference we make to the lives of others. Our team members are passionate about ensuring those we support receive individualised support and are skilled at listening to understand, building trusting relationships and creating spaces free of judgement.
WELCOME
