DCJ Youth Programs | Employment Training for Youth in Care

The Well Cafe partners with the Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ) to deliver specialized trauma-informed employment training for young people in care across Australia.

DCJ Partnership Model

We work directly with DCJ caseworkers to coordinate referrals, attendance support, and progress reporting. Programs align with DCJ's employment pathway goals for care leavers.
