Facts

What happened

A national evaluation assessed the circumstances of young people exiting detention in Australia. It found that 85% of these young people lacked stable housing. The evaluation highlighted that young people who received 'throughcare' support, including housing, mentoring, and employment assistance, had a reoffending rate of 40%, significantly lower than the 75% reoffending rate among those who did not receive such support. However, only three jurisdictions currently fund throughcare programs.

Key holding

What the court decided

National evaluation found 85% of young people exiting detention have no stable housing. Those receiving throughcare support (housing, mentoring, employment) reoffend at 40% vs 75% without. Only 3 jurisdictions fund throughcare.
