Jcu Lead

This project will investigate how Indigenous community-controlled organisations develop and implement culturally and community grounded programs, that can guide and improve the safety and wellbeing of young Indigenous people between the ages of 10-24, and how these programs might be improved. We are focusing on this age group specifically, due to the transition between childhood, adolescence and young adulthood are the population group at highest risk of being incarcerated. Three sites in the state of Queensland have been selected include Thursday Island, Cairns, and Rockhampton
