Koorie Diversion

Our Koorie Diversion programs support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and men from having further contact with the justice system and create a path towards independent living. 

Who is it for? 

• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and men aged 18 years and over. 
• Currently or at risk of being in contact with the justice system. 
• Living in the northern Melbourne metropolitan area. 

How it works 

• The Koorie Diversion program provides intensive, culturally appropriate case management,  including case planning and review, for up to 12 months. 
• We can support, or provide referrals to services, in the areas of:
  • community and cultural connection 
  • navigating the justice system 
  • housing 
  • health  
  • training and employment 
  • family violence 
  • financial  
  • legal. 
• We seek to minimise entering or re-entering the criminal justice system. 
• We find ways to empower community towards strength and independence.
