New submission | Australia's youth justice and incarceration system
Published on the 18 October 2024
The Yuwaya Ngarra-li Partnership was invited by the Federal Senate Legal and Constitutional Affairs Committee to make a submission to its inquiry into Australia's youth justice and incarceration system.
Our submission provided a specific focus on the over-incarceration of First Nations children, providing insights and outcomes from the Partnership's holistic community-led model of youth diversion focused on reducing the criminalisation and improving the positive life pathways of Aboriginal children and young people that we have been developing in Walgett.
