Organisation Summary

Operation Newstart provides education services to nominated critically at-risk students in the government operated secondary education sector who have, or are deemed by their behaviour to be likely to come to the attention of the police.

In conjunction with local police and teachers and mental health agencies, Operation Newstart design, co-ordinate and deliver programs which aim to educate and render assistance to these critically at risk young people.

Operation Newstart targets towards the long term re-engagement of these students in education, training or employment; the development of appropriate academic, social and life skills; a capacity to work collaboratively and collegially and reintegration within the community.
