About YCSS

Rick and Ann Marie Matthews established YCSS in 2006, believing that every child and young person can achieve great things when given the right environment, opportunities, and support.

YCSS is a licensed, fee-for-service organisation that supports children, young people, families and carers, via its out-of-home-care program, Youth Konnections. The program is designed to empower its participants to build connections and create a safe and nurturing home environment.
