Ozcare provides support to men leaving prison on Parole. Through the Program, Ozcare offers clients support to adapt, in a positive way, to living in the community, in gaining employment and finding accommodation.

The Program can only be accessed through Queensland Corrective Services and as part of a Parole Order.

Application for admission to the Program is made to Ozcare through Sentence Management of the relevant Correctional Centre. Applicants assessed as suitable are subject to consideration by a Parole Board for final approval, unless the applicant has Court Ordered Parole.

Clients are assisted by developing a Support Plan to identify specific goals. The Support Plan may include the following:

• Individual Counselling
• Familiarisation with the use of Public Transport
• Developing independent living skills
• Developing job readiness skills
• Finding accommodation
• Setting up a bank account
• Budgeting
• Establishing social links in the community
• Accessing relevant counselling, education, training and relevant support services
