Target 120

Halls Creek 

Target 120 is a targeted early intervention program designed to support at-risk young people (ages 10-14) and their families. By addressing risk factors early, the initiative aims to reduce juvenile reoffending and create stronger pathways for positive outcomes.

In 2024, Wunan successfully secured funding to lead Target 120 in Halls Creek, with a commitment to supporting up to 10 families. Since then, the program has steadily strengthened, providing specialist interventions and wraparound services to help young people and their families build stability and resilience.

Through a collaborative, multi-agency approach, Wunan’s Community Youth Officer (CYO) and Community Youth Support Officers work closely with Local Interagency Group (LIGs), including WA Police, the Department of Justice, Child Protection, Housing, Health and Education. Together, they identify young people in need of support and develop personalised 12-month plans, connecting them and their families with tailored services and resources to foster stability, resilience, and long-term success.

By October 2024, the program was supporting seven active clients and celebrated its first successful case completion, progressing steadily toward full capacity. Monthly Local Interagency Group (LIG) meetings fostered cross-agency collaboration, ensuring coordinated support for young people. In December, program funding was extended until June 2026, securing stability and continuity for the young people and families who rely on it.
