Through the Indigenous Youth Mobility Programme, Indigenous young people (aged 16-24) from remote areas can, with the support of their families and community, relocate to one of the IYMP Host Locations to complete the qualifications they need to obtain sustainable employment.

Pre-vocational training, Australian Apprenticeships, Certificate courses delivered through Registered Training Organisations and some tertiary pathways including those leading to qualifications in nursing, teaching, accounting and business management are the focus of IYMP in recognition of a high demand for these skills in remote communities.

Safe and supported accommodation is provided by Aboriginal Hostels Limited (AHL) in each IYMP host location, all of which are located in capital cities and large regional towns throughout Australia. All IYMP participants who are under 18 years of age will be expected to stay in IYMP accommodation provided by AHL, while those young people who are 18 years or over are expected to stay in the IYMP accommodation for at least the first six months of their participation in order to settle in to the IYMP.

IYMP participants pay a tariff and receive safe and supported accommodation. Typically such accommodation is in group houses with live in house managers who ensure the environment is safe, comfortable and conducive to learning.
