Youth on Track
Targeted support for young people at risk of ongoing involvement with the justice system.
Is this the right support?
This program may be right if:
- a young person is at risk of entering the criminal justice system
- a young person has been referred following police contact or legal concerns
- there are challenges affecting behaviour, relationships or school engagement
- a young person would benefit from structured support and case management
Referrals to Youth on Track are usually made through NSW Police.
