Open Doors supports lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender young people
Open Doors is a service for supporting young people aged between 12 -18 years who are exploring, questioning or identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and/or transgender (LGBT).
We provide individual intervention through counselling and support and other services for young people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, or are experiencing difficulties at home, feeling isolated and confused.
