• Great opportunity to join Youth Justice on a fixed term basis in Melbourne.
• Support the implementation of reforms under the new Youth Justice Act.
  The Department of Justice and Community Safety (DJCS) is responsible for the supervision of children and young people in the Victorian criminal justice system. Youth Justice is responsible for overseeing services responding to children and young people in the criminal justice system, providing strategic advice and delivering strategic outcomes to address youth crime and reduce offending.
  The Youth Justice Act, which received Royal Assent on 10 September 2024, provides strong and clear governing legislation for Victoria’s Youth Justice system that will keep the community safe and more effectively hold children and young people who offend to account.
  The Youth Justice Act includes a full spectrum of responses - from early intervention and diversion initiatives that provide genuine opportunities for children and young people to turn their lives around through to sentencing reforms and intensive community and custodial orders that will reduce offending and improve community safety.
