Application process

The application process

• Step 1: Complete the initial application form (Part One). This form asks some simple questions about you, your contact details and your time at the AIS.
• Step 2: You will be contacted by a member of the Restorative Program Team who will outline the steps involved for accessing the Program and explain the support options we can provide. You will be assigned a dedicated Case Coordinator who will stay connected with you throughout the Program.
• Step 3: You will be asked to complete a more detailed application form (Part Two) to tell us about your experience at the AIS and the impacts of this. If required, we can assist you to complete this step.
• Step 4: Once we receive Part Two of your application, an assessment process will be undertaken.
• Step 5: Once your application has been assessed, your dedicated Case Coordinator will contact you to talk through the outcome of this and what Program elements you are eligible for.

You can withdraw or put your engagement with the Program on hold at any time.
