Youth Justice System

In reply to Ms COOK (Hurtle Vale) (26 July 2019). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services): The Department of Human Services has advised:

Youth Justice's case management and assessment practices were reviewed following enactment of the Youth Justice Administration Act 2016, to take into account relevant considerations, including gender. Further work is being undertaken in this financial year to further develop our policies and procedures, to ensure they appropriately cater to gender diverse young people in our service.
