ARROS was established in 1996 following several research projects to work with young people with an intellectual disability who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.

ARROS service operates an outreach model. Unlike CLP, ARROS operates across Brisbane north metro area but like CLP focuses on similar need areas and within a similar practice framework.
