Improving outcomes for West Australian
young people involved in the justice system
Hello Initiative's ‘Nobody is Listening’ 2024 report highlights issues within WA's youth justice system as identified by young people themselves through a youth advisory council.
Young people reported generally negative experiences across detention, court, and police interactions. They felt unheard, unsupported, and judged, as well as though they were treated as adults.
The report calls for significant reforms improving conditions in incarceration, addressing court and police procedure, and providing more flexible and responsive support services.
