Youth Social Inclusion Project

HBCF and the University of Melbourne (UoM) Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences (FMDHS) are working in partnership to research and help improve the inclusion of all children and young adults in services, activities and opportunities in the western suburbs.

At the end of their four-month placement in the western suburbs, the second group of UoM Masters of Social Work students presented a Project Report for Phase 2 of of the project to the HBCF Committee.  The students' recommendations have led to:

  • the customisation of an inclusion guide titled "Sports for Everyone - A guide to 3600 Inclusion for Young People in Sport" (Download the document)
  • a number of grants for Hobsons Bay and Wydham sport and recreation clubs to support inclusion
  • the basis for Phase 3 of the project in 2018.
