Our Strategic Plan
PCYC Tasmania’s current vision statement is:
To be Tasmania’s leading organisation supporting young people who face factors that heighten their risk of justice system involvement, by providing community led coordinated systems of support and evidence based developmental crime prevention services.

Our Future Direction
PCYC Tasmania is at a turning point, and the legacy police-dependent club model is no longer sustainable or relevant. Tasmania Police have made clear their intention to exit leadership, operational, and funding roles linked to PCYC clubs and premises. To remain relevant and resilient over the next decade, PCYC Tasmania will transition to a contemporary, community-led, evidence-based developmental crime prevention organisation. This paper outlines the strategy, governance approach, funding and infrastructure model, implementation roadmap and risk management required to achieve that transition.
The strategy is organised around five pillars:
- Brand and Positioning: complete separation from Tasmania Police and adoption of a refreshed, unified brand architecture where feasible.
- Regional Management: a pragmatic, federated operating model, piloted initially at PCYC North, then at PCYC Hobart (PCYC South). A model that streamlines support while respecting club autonomy.
- Funding: reinvestment of proceeds from outdated, government-owned and DPFEM managed premises to build sustainability and seed growth initiatives.
- Infrastructure: pivot from reliance on club-owned facilities to operating, or being tenants, of government or shared community assets (youth hubs, schools out-of-hours, sport and recreation centres etc..).
- Systems of Support: scale community-led, evidence-based developmental crime prevention systems of support for education (DECYP) and communities, incorporating club led prevention programs with schools, governed by evidence-informed frameworks and compliance with child safety standards.
PCYC Clubs
A strategy highlighted in PCYC Tasmania’s strategic plan, under the goal of Effective Governance and Management is to:
Reduce the number of legal PCYC entities by streamlining governance and management. The desired outcome is consolidation of resources and consistency of PCYC programming.
The strategy is to have no more than five PCYC legal entities.
The PCYC clubs in existence now (and contact details) are:
