About the role
About the program
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.
Youth Justice Community Support Service
The YJCSS is an integrated approach to the provision of intensive support and services to Youth Justice Clients to complement the statutory case management undertaken by Youth Justice Units.

- to develop their capacity for economic participation and engagement in education, training and employment.
YJCSS hours of operation are Monday to Friday 7.00 a.m. to 10.30 p.m., Saturday and Sunday 10.00 a.m. to 10.30 p.m.
