WA Intervention and Support Program

The Western Australia (WA) Intervention and Support Program helps people who may be at risk of harming others or themselves because of their radical or extreme views.

The Program focuses on prevention and early intervention supporting the individual to disengage from the path of violent extremism.

How the program works

It is led by the WA Police Force, working with a team from both government and non-government agencies who provide specialist advice to support the participant. 

As each participant has unique needs and individual circumstances, no two approaches are the same. The team develops a tailored plan to connect them with the right supports, opportunities, and in some cases mentors to help them make safe and healthy choices.

The Program is free, voluntary and consent based. Individuals can choose to withdraw participation at any time.
