"Young people in contact with the criminal justice system – be it under
community-based orders or in youth detention – are among the most marginalised
in our society. And the health and health-care disadvantage faced by these
young people may be evident for years.
Our research found high levels of largely-preventable diseases and avoidable
premature deaths for these young people in Australia. This indicates inadequate
health care both in youth detention and in the community.
It’s time we provided health care for people in youth detention that’s
culturally safe and equivalent to what’s available in the community. That
includes access to Australia’s so-called universal health-care scheme,
Medicare."
