We partner with non-government organisations in the community. These organisations work with us to deliver services or programs across Queensland for young people (and their families) who are involved in or at risk of entering the youth justice system.

The youth justice services sector has an important role in:

  • supporting young people to achieve positive life outcomes
  • keeping communities safe.

We are committed to building a strong community services sector to ensure all young Queenslanders have the opportunity to thrive.

The youth justice services sector is critical to:

  • implement key initiatives from the Youth Justice Strategy action plan
  • meet our commitment to reduce youth re-offending to keep communities safe.
