ABOUT US:

• facilitating the release of health information to community health care providers, legal representatives, and individuals

Justice Health also works closely with custodial health providers and other parts of government to identify and drive service improvements that improve health outcomes for people in custody.

CJS also comprises Corrections Victoria; Policy, Strategy and Service Design; Group Services and Coordination; and Justice Services (which includes Community Correctional Services and other justice programs).
