About Weave Youth & Community Services
Weave is a place based non-government organisation that supports children, young people, women, families and communities who have been impacted by systemic disadvantage and intergenerational trauma. With a 45 year track record, Weave has strong connections, experience and trust across the communities it services and the systems in which it operates, including government, families, local community and local NGOs.

Our work centres authentic relationships and client-led support that celebrates people’s strengths, self-determined success, and improved life outcomes.
