CRC Services

The Community Restorative Centre (CRC) is NSW’s largest specialist agency supporting people involved in the criminal justice system and their families. With 70 years’ experience, we are well-established as the lead provider of specialist through-care, post-release and reintegration programs for people transitioning from prison into the community in NSW.

All CRC programs aim to reduce crime and break entrenched cycles of disadvantage, offending and imprisonment. We work holistically to do this, addressing issues such as homelessness, social isolation, physical and mental health, drug and alcohol use, employment, education, family relationships, financial hardship and histories of trauma.

We also work in partnership with other organisations to improve our clients’ access to support services and create real opportunities for people to build productive and independent lives in the community.
