About the program

Navigator is a program funded by state government which aims to support disengaged learners aged 12 to 17 to re-engage with an education or training. The program works closely with families and schools and uses assertive outreach, case management and restorative practice principles to re-engage young people back into learning pathways.

The program is delivered by Jesuit Social Services in partnership with the Victorian Aboriginal Child Care Agency (VACCA) in the Brimbank Melton, Inner Eastern Melbourne, Hume Merri-bek, and North Eastern Melbourne areas.

The Navigator Program is a dynamic team, which comprises Senior Practitioners, Case Managers and Intake and Assessment and Active Hold Workers. We work closely with local schools, support services and the regional Department of Education (DE) office.
