Annual Plan 2023–24

Body
This annual plan sets out our proposed work program for the 2023–24 financial year.

2. Entering prison

DJCS does not have a comprehensive process to identify if new prisoners have intellectual disability or an acquired brain injury. 

If DJCS does not identify one, the prisoner will not get specialised support. 

DJCS and DFFH do not have enough specialised accommodation for prisoners with intellectual disability or an acquired brain injury. This affects these prisoners' safety and rehabilitation.

1. Audit context

In Victoria, people with intellectual disability or an acquired brain injury are over-represented in the prison population. Prisons need to give these prisoners the right support to make sure they are safe and have the best chance of rehabilitation.
