The Department of Justice advises the State Government has committed to Target 120 (T120), working with the families of the State’s 120 highest priority young people in contact with the youth justice system before they reach the point of entering custody.
The Department of Communities is the lead agency for T120, any questions regarding this initiative should be directed to the Minister for Communities.
