VIC Countering Violent Extremism Programs
Victoria’s Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) Programs support individuals who are vulnerable to radicalisation to violent extremism by helping them find safer, more positive pathways.
How the programs work
Delivered by Victoria Police and the Department of Justice and Community Safety (DJCS), the programs are voluntary and tailored to each participant’s needs.
The CVE programs support individuals to divert or disengage from violent extremism, by addressing violent ideological beliefs, psychological and social drivers.
Programs include:
- Community Integration Support Program (CISP)
- Network for Intervention and Tailored Engagement (NITE)
- Voluntary Case Management Scheme (VCM).
Each program offers a holistic, therapeutic approach to help individuals reconnect with community and to build strengths across multiple areas of their lives.
Victoria’s CVE programs are delivered by specialist teams including case managers, mentors and psychologists that support each participant’s individual needs to support disengagement from violent extremism.
Participation is voluntary, and personal information is handled in alignment with privacy legislation. Individuals can choose to withdraw from the program at any time.
Eligibility
Referrals are accepted from government agencies, police, and community members. Individuals may be eligible if they:
- Live in Victoria
- Are vulnerable to or exhibiting signs of radicalisation to violent extremism; or
- Are actively engaged in violent extremism.
This may include individuals on court orders, on parole, or serving a prison sentence.
