APPLY NOW! First Nations partners needed for youth justice program
Expressions of Interest are being sought from First Nations organisations to deliver a new Intensive On Country trial program for young Queenslanders engaged with the youth justice system.
This is an extension of the current On Country program which began in 2020 and will build on learning from that initiative, including:
- an intensive cultural and residential experience for longer periods and/or more often
- education and training opportunities
- family support, including support to improve protective factors and reduce risk factors
- and in-home family support, to ensure parents and carers meet the daily living needs of young people and improve safety conditions.
Intensive On Country will provide young people an opportunity to reflect on their offending behaviour through cultural interventions while on country.
EOI closes 12 March 2024.
