We are excited to recruit a team of suitably qualified and experienced professionals to fill these roles within our Queensland Government funded Community Youth Response & Diversion program.

The Community Youth Response and Diversion (CYRD) program is a newly funded Queensland Government initiative that aims to provide a culturally appropriate, alternative intervention to police charging and/or remanding young people in custody. The initiative aims to reduce the number of young people being held in watch houses and detention. CYRD initiatives are being rolled out in a number of locations around the state and is targeted at young people aged 10 to 15 who are at high risk of offending/re-offending and present with multiple complex issues that increase the likelihood of a trajectory of offending, with a focus on those that are disproportionately represented in the Youth Justice system, in particular Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people.
