**_Youth Justice Group Conferencing (YJGC)_**

YJGC is a state wide program legislated under the Child Youth and Families Act 2005 (Vic). YJGC accepts referrals through the Children’s Court. It aims to provide an effective community rehabilitation intervention at the pre-sentence stage of the court process.
Youth Justice Group Conferencing is a program based on restorative justice principles. It is a problem solving approach to offending that aims to balance the needs of young people, victims and the community by encouraging dialogue between individuals and groups who have offended and those who have been harmed, both directly and indirectly.

The aim of the restorative practitioner is to provide a pre-sentencing option for the Children’s Court, specifically designed to:

- Divert the young person from more intensive supervisory court outcomes
- Reduce the frequency and seriousness of re-offending by young people
- Increase victim satisfaction with the criminal justice process
- Give all parties a voice by allowing people to listen and communicate effectively;
- Prevent, manage, resolve and/or transform conflict;
- Understand, address, repair and/or prevent harm;
- Promote wellbeing or pro-social behavior;
- Harness cooperation for problem solving;
- Strengthen connectedness and community.
