Youth justice

We are working to provide a culturally safe justice system that diverts young people towards better lives and brighter futures.

Our focus is on early intervention, diversion and intensive case management programs which help to turn around the lives of at-risk young people and keep the community safe.

We employ across a range of roles in Intensive Case Management, Youth Co-responder Teams, Transition 2 Success and in youth detention centres.
