The CHC50521 Diploma of Youth Justice is a specialist qualification that meets the needs of those hoping to work with youth in a criminal justice environment. Faced with many intricacies, this qualification is an excellent reflection of the work police do and therefore is available for RPL for all current and former police with experience in general policing as well as specialist groups.

If you have policing experience, or any other relevant experience in community services that works with youth, you may be eligible for this qualification based on that experience and prior learning.

You may not have police experience, but have experience in youth detention or youth justice, and hold transferable skills that could qualify you for RPL for this qualification.
