Description

BushMob Inc began in 1999 after young people from Alice Springs town camps voiced their desire to have part-ownership of a program that would provide a safe and supportive environment where they could go bush away from substance use, violence, unsafe living conditions, and disempowerment. The pilot program began with one staff member but has grown into an incorporated body running four programs with eight staff members, volunteers and peer mentors (StrongMob).

BushMob Inc make journeys to remote communities in Central Australia to work with young people and their families. BushMob Inc also provide a residential program for young people aged 12 to 24 years of age, wanting to get their lives back on track without alcohol, drugs or sniffing. The program is based in Alice Springs its residential service provides:

• 24 hour care
• case management

• education and training, and positive life choices.
