Drop In

The Gugan Gulwan Drop In program operates daily during centre hours, Monday to Thursday from 10am to 3pm.

The program is a soft entry point for young people who maybe experiencing exclusion due to behaviours of concern or other challenges. The program is responsive to community needs and is a safe space for young people to gather with immediate support available to and for them.

The Drop In program welcomes all young people to the Centre.
