LAUNCHPAD PROGRAM

79 Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (22 May 2012). What is the eligibility criteria for the White Lion/In2Life LaunchPad Program, is the program available for all young people who have encountered the juvenile justice system and are other young people at risk eligible for the program?

The Hon. T.R. KENYON (Newland—Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for Recreation and Sport): The LaunchPad Program provides assistance to young people transitioning to the community from the custodial and care systems, and those at risk of entering the justice or care systems.

Intensive case management services are provided by Whitelion, which includes an assessment process which determines an individual's circumstances and eligibility for the program.
