- Justice Programs_

Jesuit Social Services’ Justice Programs provide holistic support service for adults and young people involved in the justice system or who are exiting prisons and/or youth justice centres. Our programs target those who are assessed as high risk/need, with limited social and family networks, limited accommodation and post release support options and experiencing multiple and complex health problems. Staff deliver quality programs in a manner that reflects the social justice principles of participation, equity, access and respect. Services include intensive outreach support, case management, supported accommodation, drug and alcohol counselling, recreation programs and employment/training programs. Our adult and youth justice work contributes to regional and state-wide advisory forums and networks and assists in a more comprehensive approach to justice through partnerships with government agencies and other service providers, as well as to legislation, policy development and advocacy.
