About Youth Justice NSW Centres
Youth Justice Centres are where young people are held in custody when they break the law and are either waiting to appear in court or are serving out their sentence. Placement at Youth Justice Centres is determined by a young person's classification, age and gender.
There are six Youth Justice Centres across the state where young offenders receive individual case management, specialised counselling, and training in job and living skills. There are also 35 Youth Justice community offices that provide community-based intervention for young offenders.
