Youth Court

The 6 month Treatment Intervention Program stream also operates in the Youth Court.

The Youth Court Treatment Intervention Program commenced in 2011 and replaced the former Youth Court Assessment and Referral Drug Scheme (Youth CARDS) and the former Youth Court Diversion Program (YCDP).

Eligible defendants appearing in the Youth Court are able to access the 6 month Treatment Intervention stream. Young people who may not be eligible for a referral for a Family Conference due to the nature of their offending are targeted for referral to this stream. Treatment services are usually provided by private psychologists.

For information on the practice and procedure of the Youth Court generally, see the Duty Solicitor Handbook chapter- Youth Court.
