Community Restorative Centre NSW
Changing Lives, Reducing Crime

CRC is a NSW community organisation dedicated to supporting people affected by the criminal justice system, particularly prisoners, ex-prisoners, and their families and friends. Our staff offer personal and practical assistance such as counselling, accommodation, a subsidised transport service, a court support service, outreach to prisons, and information, advice and referrals.

We address issues that can put people at risk of crime, such as drug and alcohol dependence, homelessness, unemployment, and social exclusion. We assist those who are experiencing hardship and work with their families and communities, giving them support to develop their skills and build stable, independent lives.
