Implementation progress update
Youth Justice NSW is providing capacity development opportunities to Specialist Housing Services who provide accommodation to young people who use violence in the home, and supporting funding for accommodation for those young people on an ongoing basis.
The Short-Term Remand Program broadly enables more effective youth diversion options in the first instance, assists Aboriginal Legal Services and police to lower risk concerns surrounding bail options, and sources alternate accommodation options for young people when it is unsafe to return home.
Included in the program in both sites of South Sydney and Wagga Wagga is wrap-around multidisciplinary support to young people who have an Apprehended Domestic Violence Order, responding in a targeted way to the use of violence in the home.
