Real stories, real change
Every journey is different. Here are examples of the kinds of stories we are working to support.
CON|X gave me something to work towards. Every time I earned points, it reminded me I was making progress. Now I've got my own place and a job I actually like.
Jordan came to CON|X after spending 18 months in youth detention. With no stable housing and limited work experience, he faced the same barriers that lead many young people back into the system. Through CON|X, Jordan connected with a housing provider, completed a hospitality certificate, and landed a job at a local cafe. Twelve months later, he's still employed and has started saving for a car.
Jordan, 19
Western Sydney
Outcomes achieved
- Secured stable housing
- Completed hospitality certificate
- 12+ months continuous employment
- Zero reoffending
