Frequently Asked Questions

Are JustACE’s assessments diagnostic?

JustACE provides checks to help identify where someone may need extra support relating to cognitive impairment. These are not formal diagnoses but can help participants and service providers better understand needs and challenges and how these link to offending behaviour.

Who does JustACE work with?

JustACE supports people with cognitive impairment who are involved in or at risk of entering the justice system as an offender/suspected offender. This includes people at various stages, such as those interacting with police, attending court, in prison or returning to the community.

What areas does JustACE cover?

Currently, the JustACE office is based in Hobart in the south of Tasmania. We regularly travel to the North and North West of the state to provide face to face support to participants in these regions and can provide phone and online support as required. We also offer outreach to other locations, based on participant need.
