Complex Support Programs – Empress Support Services

At Empress Support Services, we deliver specialist forensic disability support designed to meet the needs of participants who have current or previous contact with the justice system.

Our focus is on safe transitions, compliance with justice orders, and building pathways towards independence and community inclusion.

Forensic Disability Support: In-Reach & Outreach Programs

Our programs are tailored to help you:

  • Stay compliant with pre- and post-release orders
  • Address your disability support needs alongside justice requirements
  • Achieve your NDIS goals and personal life goals
  • Reduce the risk of re-offending and contact with the justice system

We work in partnership with your clinical and allied health team to understand the root causes of behaviours of concern and how these may influence offending behaviour.

Using clinically endorsed strategies, we develop an individualised transition plan that meets both your disability and justice-related needs.
