civil defence response
supporting our youth service providers
overview
When a region is in a civil defence emergency, Youth Service may implement the Youth Service Civil Defence Response.
On this page we will cover what will happen when the Youth Service Civil Defence Response is implemented.
civil defence payments
Young people will need to apply for the Civil Defence Payment through their youth coach.
If the young person doesn’t qualify or the cost are not covered by Civil Defence Payment, their youth coach will support the young person to test eligibility to hardship assistance.

civil defence processing standards
The Youth Service Civil Defence Processing Standards are implemented.
programme fund
Young people can apply for Programme Fund to help cover costs occurred during the event. They do not need to test eligibility for hardship payments first.
money management
The young person's Payment Card portion of Money Management is removed.
If this has not been removed, contact YSSU immediately.
When the civil defence emergency is lifted, the youth coach will need to contact YSSU to have the young person returned back to full Money Management.

internet / power issues
If the provider has no internet or power, the provider will phone the YSSU dedicated staff members to complete the applications over the phone.
