Youth Justice Services are responsible for supervising young people involved in the Youth Justice system. Youth Justice Staff work with young people and their family to address the factors that contribute to their offending behaviour and encourage young people to build positive connections with their community.
In addition to assisting young people to meet the statutory requirements of their court order, Youth Justice Services engage young people in a range of programs to address the diverse risks and needs present in their lives. The interventions provided to young people involved in the Youth Justice system are across four categories including: * Court orders and bail support * Support services * Offence focussed intervention * Developmental intervention.
