About Youth Justice NSW
Youth Justice NSW is a division of the Department of Communities and Justice within the Stronger Communities NSW cluster.

Formerly known as Juvenile Justice, Youth Justice NSW supervises and provides custodial and community-based services for young offenders under the _Children (Detention Centres) Act, 1987_.

There are six Youth Justice centres across NSW which accommodate young offenders and offer health, educational and spiritual services - including individual case management, specialised counselling, and training in job and living skills.

There are also 34 Youth Justice community offices that provide community-based intervention for young people who are at risk of reoffending.

Youth Justice NSW aims to work with young people to reduce their reoffending, rehabilitate and return them to society.

About Cobham Youth Justice Centre
Cobham Youth Justice Centre is one of six Youth Justice centres across NSW. It is the principle remand centre in NSW for males aged 15 years and over.

Opened in June 1980, it houses young people predominantly from the Sydney metropolitan area and offers a range of services, programs and interventions to address individual needs and reduce offending.

Many of these young people come from traumatic backgrounds and can display unpredictable behaviour.
