BFLO operates under a Memorandum of Understanding between the five Bendigo State Government Secondary Schools, Kalianna Special School and the Department of Education and Training.

BFLO caters for highly vulnerable secondary age young people in the Bendigo area who require tertiary level supports as a result of their experience of trauma, chronic disengagement, co-occurring risk factors, Out of Home Care and/or involvement with the Youth Justice system.
