Justice involved support

Build steadier routines. Take your next step.

Specialist NDIS support for young people and adults who have had contact with the justice system, including people with lived experience of substance use and people in recovery. Practical help with daily life, housing skills, study, work and connection, without judgement.

Who we support

This is our specialty. We support young people and adults who have been in contact with the justice system whatever your background.

We support people of all backgrounds and people who have been in contact with the justice system. Whatever your culture, community or circumstances, you will be heard with respect and without judgement.

Through NDIS supports, we help you rebuild routines, reduce the pressures that can lead back into the justice system, and build pathways to housing, education, employment and community connection.

Substance use and recovery

Contact with the justice system often overlaps with substance use. If you have lived experience of substance use or addiction, or you are in recovery, you are welcome here. We don’t judge. We provide NDIS funded support that helps you rebuild stability, routines, housing, education, employment and community connection, and we can work alongside the health and recovery services already supporting you, with your consent.

Our focus is practical disability support for everyday life. Medical treatment, detox and clinical rehabilitation should be discussed with an appropriate health service.

Your past doesn’t define you. Your strengths, goals and choices lead your support.

We agree goals with you and review what is working, whether that means steadier routines, building daily living skills or taking part in your community.

Specialist focus

This is our specialty, not an add on. We understand how justice contact, disability and life circumstances can overlap, and we plan support around that.

We listen without judgement, move at your pace, and build trust before anything else, including through recovery.
