About

UBU Your Place Your Space is a funding scheme which provides local services for young people

UBU Your Place Your Space was developed in line with recommendations from the Value for Money and Policy Review of Youth Programmes (2014) through the Department of Children and Youth Affairs (DCYA). A series of recommendations were made in relation to the redevelopment of a new scheme to replace the existing four schemes

UBU Your Place Your Space aligns with the Better Outcomes, Brighter Futures National Policy Framework, the National Strategy on Children and Young People’s Participation in Decision-Making, and the LGBTI+ and National Youth Strategies.
