Launch also caters for high and complex needs clients including youth detention alternatives. Launch operates one 6-bed “high care” shelter where all residents initially stay with 24/7 supervision, plus two 2-bed “independent living” units for residents who are ready for transition to semi-independent living.
Launch was formerly known as Youth Accommodation Services Tasmania Inc, or “YASTAS”, and has been operating in Hobart for over 20 years.
