Programs we fund
We fund what works
At Martin Youth Foundation, we believe in the strength and potential of every young person. We invest in proven programs and the people who deliver them so that young people can access the right care at the right time.
As a dedicated youth alcohol and other drug funder, we stay at the forefront of youth addiction treatment, funding what works and sharing what we learn. We ensure every dollar invested delivers lasting impact for young people.
Best-practice youth alcohol and drug treatment
Through fundraising, philanthropy and corporate partnerships, we support Mission Australia to deliver Triple Care Farm and Youth Network. These two evidence-based programs support the full continuum of substance use treatment and recovery.
Triple Care Farm
Triple Care Farm is a treatment centre in Knights Hill, NSW. It helps young people aged 16–24 to recover from alcohol and drug dependence through withdrawal and rehabilitation.
Youth Network
Youth Network is a structured aftercare program delivered at four Mission Australia sites. It supports young people aged 12–25 to maintain their recovery after residential treatment.
Addressing unmet need
Across Australia, demand for youth-specific treatment exceeds the system’s capacity to respond, leaving many young people without access to the support they need at critical moments. We know that systems that are not designed for young people don’t deliver the outcomes they need. Our funding focuses on supporting the full continuum of care for young people with alcohol and drug dependence.
- Youth specific
