The Youth Support and Advocacy Service (YSAS) is a Victorian state-wide community service which was formed in 1997 by a consortium comprising of the Centre for Adolescent Health, the Royal Children's Hospital, Jesuit Social Services, St Vincent's Hospital and Turning Point Alcohol and Drug Centre. YSAS provides a continuum of services for young people aged between 12 and 21 who are experiencing problems related to alcohol and other drugs. YSAS provides a range of youth-specific outreach, treatment, withdrawal, rehabilitation and support programs in 13 locations across Melbourne and regional Victoria. This includes Indigenous youth-specific services.
