NSW Justice Health & Forensic Mental Health Network

Justice Health and Forensic Mental Health Network (Justice Health NSW) delivers health care to adults and young people in contact with the forensic mental health and criminal justice systems in NSW, across community, inpatient and custodial settings. Justice Health NSW forms a vital component of the NSW public health system through its support of a highly vulnerable patient population whose health needs are often numerous and more complex than the wider community. Our staff work closely with a number of partner agencies and key stakeholders, including the NSW Ministry of Health, Corrective Services NSW, Juvenile Justice NSW; and other local health districts and specialty networks. We have a workforce of 1470 employees at over 90 locations in metropolitan and regional NSW including medical, dental, nursing, allied health and corporate support staff. Our health community is unique – with many having had minimal contact with mainstream health services in the community. Join our mission to transform lives by delivering healthier tomorrows through excellence in patient centred care.
