NSW Department of Communities and Justice / Funded Partnership Initiative – Initial Transitional Support - DCJ.21.19

ITS targets higher risk offenders who are being or have recently been released from custody and are subject to supervision by CSNSW in the community.

This group of offenders experiences many barriers to reintegration following release from custody, including (but not limited to): housing availability and affordability; alcohol and other drug dependencies, access to mental health services, education and employment opportunities.

The ITS Service Providers will be required to deliver up to 12 weeks post-release support services that align with the offender’s Corrective Services NSW (CSNSW) case plan and identified criminogenic needs, with a focus on coordinated case management, flexibility and innovation in service delivery. 

ITS Service Providers will work in partnership with CSNSW and assist with a broad range of casework activities to support the offender under the supervision of Community Corrections.
