QLD Engagement and Diversion Program
The Engagement and Diversion Program (EDP) is a confidential, voluntary program that works with law enforcement, community and government to make Queensland (QLD) communities safe from violent extremism.
How the program works
EDP accepts referrals from government departments, police, communities, and the public for anyone who:
- Resides within Queensland
- Has shown signs that they may be at risk of radicalising towards or supporting an act of violent extremism
- Is assessed by EDP as needing ongoing support to disengage from violent extremist ideology.
It does this by performing proactive assessment and case management of individuals exhibiting concerning behaviours, and by engaging with government, non-government, and community stakeholders as well as vulnerable individuals and their families to address these behaviours.
EDP helps Queenslanders of all ages, cultures, communities, religions, and locations across Queensland.
Participation in the EDP is voluntary; client consent is obtained to make referrals to support services, obtain information from other agencies and liaise with appropriately identified support persons including family members and friends.
