everyone needs a home base
At Home Base, we walk alongside young Tasmanians as they navigate life’s challenges and the moments that shape what comes next.
We support young people aged 5–25 across Tasmania with housing, wellbeing, connection, and practical support. Sometimes that means helping them stay safely at home. Sometimes it means finding somewhere stable to live. And sometimes it means simply being there while things are uncertain.
What matters most is this: we don’t do this alone, and neither do they.
what we do
Life doesn’t move in straight lines and neither does support.
We work with young people and their families through a range of programs that respond to real-life needs, including:
Support to find and maintain safe housing
Help to stay connected to school, training or work
Family support to strengthen relationships and safety at home
Practical assistance during times of instability or crisis
Connection to services, community and everyday essentials
Our work is flexible, relational and shaped around each young person’s goals. Not a one-size-fits-all approach.
HOW WE WORK
We walk alongside young people, not ahead of them, and not instead of them.
That means listening first. Building trust. Showing up consistently. And working with young people, families and communities to create support that actually fits real life.
We also work in partnership with schools, community organisations, government and supporters who care about creating better pathways for young Tasmanians.
Because strong outcomes come from strong relationships.

HOME BASE IS A PLACE TO LAND.
For some young people, Home Base is a starting point. For others, it’s a turning point.
