The School Based Youth Health Nurse (SBYHN) service is funded and delivered by Queensland Health through the state's Hospital and Health Services. SBYHNs provide services to state secondary school students across Queensland, including secondary students at P–10/12 schools and Schools of Distance Education.
SBYHNs work with a preventative and health promotion focus. They are a point of contact for students seeking information, advice and support for a range of health and wellbeing matters.
