Adelaide Youth Training Centre

342 Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (3 August 2017). With respect to the 2017-18 budget—

1. Given the financial commentary refers to a reduction in Adelaide Youth Training Centre asset sales in 2016-17, what property is currently on the market for sale?

2. Has the land adjacent to the Adelaide Youth Training Centre at Cavan been sold and if so, how much was recovered from the sale?

3. What rehabilitation programs are currently available to young people at either campus at Cavan?

The Hon. Z.L. BETTISON (Ramsay—Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Ageing, Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers): I have been advised:

1. The property on the market for sale is a surplus portion of vacant land at 1 Jonal Drive, Cavan, next to a campus of the Adelaide Youth Training Centre.

2. A portion of 1 Jonal Drive, Cavan has not been sold and is on the market for sale in 2017-18.

3. There are a range of rehabilitation programs and other offence-related programs available to young people at the Adelaide Youth Training Centre.

In 2016-17, programs provided included 'PLUS +', an intensive, group-based, criminogenic treatment program based upon cognitive behavioural principles; and 'D-Stress', to assist young people manage stressful experiences by understanding body sensations, emotions and thoughts. In addition, Youth Justice together with its sector partners offers programs to address challenges associated with community engagement, health and development; and family and social needs.

A Youth Justice Programs Aboriginal Cultural Proficiency Guideline is in place, outlining cultural considerations while developing and/or facilitating programs. It sets the expectation that all program development includes meaningful engagement with the Aboriginal community. The AYTC also offers specific cultural programs, such as the 'Journey to Respect' program facilitated by Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, which addresses the impacts of intergenerational violence on Aboriginal young people.

Further information on rehabilitation programs is included in the response to questions on notice 343 and 348.
