The Crisafulli Government is making Queensland safer with a new intensive early intervention program for the Sunshine Coast, to help restore safety where you live.    

Ted Noffs will deliver the Regional Reset program and provide up to 15-weeks of support for at-risk youth showing early signs of disengagement, antisocial or criminal behaviour to help make Queensland safer.    

Participants will take part in an intensive one to three week “reset” at a live-in facility in Doonan, where they will receive 24/7 support and supervision, with the option of a parent or guardian joining the camp. 

During the camp, youths will take part in a range of activities to develop their emotional, social, and physical wellbeing including; life and employment skills training, mentoring, education, family counselling sessions, cultural engagement and sporting activities. 

After the camp, youths and their families will receive up to 6-weeks of follow-up support to help embed positive behaviours. 

The $50 million Regional Reset program is being delivered in nine locations across the State and is one of several new early intervention programs helping restore safety where you live.    

During their decade of decline, Labor’s weak laws, fewer police and failure to invest in early intervention and created a Youth Crime Crisis and a generation of serious repeat offenders.   

The Crisafulli Government is making Queensland safer with stronger laws, more police, early intervention and rehabilitation.    

Minister for Youth Justice and Victim Support Laura Gerber said early intervention was critical to stopping crime and driving down the number of victims.   

“Regional Reset will give at-risk youth an opportunity to hit the reset button and be put into a positive, disciplined environment that gives them the support they need to make better choices and steer away from crime,” Minister Gerber said. 

“While our strong laws are taking dangerous youth offenders off our streets, we are also turning young lives away from crime with early intervention, to prevent the next generation of youth offenders.”
