Throughcare Services

The aim of the Throughcare Program delivered by ATSILS across Queensland is to support prisoners and youth detainees
(pre and post release) to address their offending behaviour. This includes supporting clients to transition successfully
back into the community and support the changes needed in their lives that can greatly reduce the prospects of them
returning to prison. Ultimately the goal of the Throughcare program is to help our clients turn their lives around and in
so doing, create safer communities. The Throughcare Program has continued to grow and recently has expanded to
include several new positions in targeted locations across the state dedicated to family and domestic violence
prevention and diverting high risk youth away from the justice system.

Throughcare Officers focus on assisting several targeted clients (who are considered to be a high risk of re-offending)
through intensive case-management. Our officers work closely with their clients and where available, collaborate with
Correctional Facility or Youth Detention Centre staff, other stakeholders, clients’ families and community members.
For those starting the Program: during their period in custody we will talk with them about their future plans. They may
also be referred to other agencies – as assisting clients otien requires a ‘team effort’ from a tailored network of partners
identified as critical to their specific case. We will seek the client’s specific views as to what they think will most likely
assist them in terms of addressing their offending behaviour and making a successful transition back into the
community.

Post-release from prison or youth detention, our Throughcare Officers will continue to provide assistance to clients to
keep them on track with their transition back into community. This might include introductions and/or referrals to other
agencies, assistance with employment and/or housing applications depending on the case management plan relevant to
the client.
