Open Doors Youth Service (ODYS) was created by community for community 25 years ago and remains Queensland’s only dedicated LGBTIQ+ Sistergirl & Brotherboy (SB) youth service. ODYS supports LGBTIQ+ SB young people aged 12 to 24 and is dedicated to:

• Empowering LGBTIQ+ SB young people to live with pride as valued, celebrated, and authentic members of community
• Engaging a workforce with lived experience and professional expertise
• Providing safe spaces for young people to connect with peers and community to foster a sense of belonging
• Advocating for the rights and needs of our young people to improve their access to resources, and to end discrimination and violence
• Improving mental health outcomes and lowering suicidality for LGBTIQ+SB young people
