Youth justice in Australia 2023–24

More than half (1,449 or 55%) of the young people aged 10–17 under community-based supervision on an average day in 2023–24 were First Nations young people (Table S36a). In 2023–24, the rate of First Nations young people aged 10–17 in community-based supervision on an average day was 88 per 10,000, compared with 4.7 per 10,000 for non-Indigenous young people (Table S37a). This means First Nations young people aged 10–17 were about 19 times as likely as their non-Indigenous counterparts to be under community-based supervision on an average day.
