This is a community-based program that is designed to combat modern slavery in Australia.

The program includes education, workshops, case management and a pathway to a new life.

A New Pathway – An accommodation program offering crisis response and community integration

This accommodation program offers crisis response and community integration, tailored to young people aged 16 to 21 who are victims/survivors of forced marriage. 

The service ensures flexibility where case managers are not time-restricted and can offer intensive support on a daily basis using concrete and practical support tools. This approach to support facilitates collaboration on goal selection and attainment, developing a strong working relationship with the young person and all relevant services. 

There is a particular focus upon independent living skills and ensuring young people remain connected to culture.
