Event overview

Third Sector’s 2nd National Youth Justice Forum emerges as a pivotal platform to address this crisis, evaluating the root causes of youth crime and crafting community-led diversion and early-intervention strategies. With Indigenous and youth perspectives at its core, the Forum aims to co-create systemic change, addressing intergenerational trauma and enhancing holistic prevention services while combating recidivism through social reinvestment initiatives. The event fosters cross-sector dialogue and empowers grassroots and Indigenous organisations through capacity-building endeavours. Ultimately, the National Youth Justice Forum’s mission is to safeguard young people’s futures by diverting them from the justice system and breaking the cycle of reoffending.

Include Indigenous and community voices to co-design solutions for systemic change

Tackle the youth detention crisis by confronting the impacts of intergenerational trauma on families and communities
