Roll out begins for $6.2M Kimberley Juvenile Justice Strategy.
Following the ease of COVID-19 restrictions, the State government has moved to the next stage of the Kimberley Juvenile Justice strategy (KJJS) with a $6.2 million injection.
During the first year of funding, the Kimberley Aboriginal Law and Cultural Centre were engaged to undertake a consultation process across the Kimberley to identify a range of culturally based, community-led solutions for at-risk youth.
The new $6.2 million allocation for KJJS, aimed at reducing youth offending, will fund the continuation of safe-place grants, night patrols, Aboriginal Service WA support for young people in the justice system and an education industry skills program across different regions in Kimberley, including Wyndham and Kununurra.
