Resident Support Services

The YMCA is synonymous with caring for people, and has a long history of working with young people. We are trusted by many families from all over the world to care for their sons and daughters when they come to Melbourne as international students. And we take this commitment seriously.

Our commitment to providing a ‘home away from home’ underpins our efforts in creating an integrated international community, with lots of opportunities for local and international students to experience independent living, personal growth and friendships, coupled with cross cultural pastoral care, health, welfare and academic support. Our 24 hour a day support for residents includes:

• Pastoral care and counselling 
• Health and welfare support 
• Academic support 
• Resident mentoring programs 
• Peer support programs 
• Community services programs 
• Training programs and activities 
• Personal development courses
