Vacro runs programs for adults in Victoria who are in prison, leaving prison, or on community corrections orders, and their families.
If you, or someone you know needs support, please check the information below on each program to find out who is eligible and how referrals happen. If you would like to discuss your concerns further, please contact us. We'll do our best to give you the guidance you need.

Every Vacro program is voluntary. No one has to do one, and they aren’t related to successfully completing a sentence or an order. Every program participant has rights to privacy and fair treatment.
