​School Based Youth Health Nurse Service

School Based Youth Health Nurse Service
Children’s Health Queensland’s School Based Youth health Nurse (SBYHN) provides free and accessible healthcare services to state secondary school students. It is a confidential, voluntary, brief intervention service. Students can book private appointments with our nurse and talk about a range of topics.
SBYHNs respect the student’s privacy and will not share personal information with anyone unless there is a safety concern. The nurse will continue to encourage students to discuss their questions or concerns with parents and school support staff.

The service helps students by:
• promoting positive health and wellbeing
• delivering health education in the classroom
• working with school staff and community services
• talking to students one-on-one about their health concerns
• providing referrals to other health services as required.  

The SBYHN can help with:
• Growth and development
• Smoking, vaping, alcohol, and other drugs
• Feeling sad, worried, or angry
• Healthy eating and exercise
• Personal or family problems
• Relationships and sexuality

How to get help from the SBYHN:
• Students can ask to see the school nurse themselves.
• Parents can ask for their child to see the school nurse.
• School staff can also ask for a student to see the school nurse. You can contact the school nurse in different ways including:
