ACSOaustralia

From the organic beginnings of our founder, Stan McCormack the Australian Community Support Organisation (ACSO) has delivered programs to help break the cycle of people repeatedly entering the justice system because they lack the support to make change.

There is enormous over representation of people serving life in prison in installments when other solutions such as housing, health or employment could be used as levers to change the course of their life and truly allow people to shift patterns of harmful or destructive behaviour.

ACSO work with people at risk of entering or who have already entered the justice system. Our work supports, diverts or reintegrates people through a range of services including mental health, alcohol and other drug treatment, intensive residential support, housing and employment. These services span the entire justice continuum from prevention to rehabilitation.
