From harm to healing: a community services joint statement on the proposed Pontville Youth Justice Facility
October 31, 2025
Anglicare Tasmania has signed a joint statement that raises concerns about the proposed Pontville Youth Justice Facility.
Tasmania’s youth justice system requires urgent reform to better support and protect children, young people, their families and communities.
Anglicare has joined a coalition of 15 organisations that opposes the Tasmanian government’s plan to build a youth justice facility at Pontville.
A joint statement from the coalition, From harm to healing, recommends investment in community-led alternatives that if adopted, would see Tasmania lead the nation in youth justice reform.
