Supported Accommodation Program in Brisbane
Zig Zag provides medium-term supported accommodation to young women age 16 to 25 years who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.
Zig Zag believes appropriate housing is a basic human right of all young women and we aim to provide safe, affordable and secure accommodation.
Zig Zag offers accommodation to young women who are on their own or sole parenting, between the age of 16-25 years, who require some support but are able to live independently. Our accommodation is women’s only and is medium-term, which is 3-6 months.
Who is Zig Zag accommodation for?
At Zig Zag, we provide supported accommodation which means young women who are housed with us will have a housing support worker to meet with regularly. Young women and support workers will work together to find long term housing and young women can access support, resources and information around many areas of life.
What we can’t do
Unfortunately, we do NOT have emergency accommodation so we are unable to provide housing straight away. If you are in a crisis and need accommodation immediately, see our Support Hotlines page for more information.
We believe appropriate housing is a basic right of all young women.

Our Housing Support Team

The staff in the housing team at Zig Zag include two housing support workers and a tenancy management worker. The Zig Zag team are available to assist within working hours only as we do NOT have an afterhours or weekend service.
Young women may request to speak to a housing support worker and ask questions and obtain information at any time when accessing Zig Zag. Once housed in a Zig Zag property, young women will meet their housing support worker, who is there to assist you with your own personal goals and needs plus assist you to have a ‘great tenancy’.
Young women living in Zig Zag properties will also meet our tenancy management worker. The tenancy management worker is the person who responds to any renting or property issues, such as organising maintenance repairs and providing you with information about moving into the units, signing your lease and other relevant Residential Tenancy Act documents, paying rent, and give you your keys.
