Queenslands Youth Justice Department Halts Providers for Three Crime Prevention Schools
The Crisafulli governments plan to establish three crime prevention schools for at-risk kids, as part of their election pledge, has hit a snag. The department has paused finding providers for these schools, which were set to be located in Ipswich, Rockhampton, Townsville, and the Gold Coast. Only the Men of Business Academy on the Gold Coast is confirmed to run one of the schools. The opposition accuses the government of breaking their promise, while Youth Justice Minister Laura Gerber maintains that all three schools are still in the pipeline. The delay is attributed to tight timelines and funding limitations, with enrollments expected to open this year and classes starting in 2027. Additionally, two youth justice schools for court-ordered teens are in the works, with one site already secured.
