Short description
The Justice for Juveniles Group, previously known as the Wilson Protest Group, was established in 1977 with an aim to find financial support for a Youth Advocacy Centre in Brisbane. By this stage the 'Hospital' accommodated 68 boys and 32 girls. It was considered a 'closed' institution, meaning that children were not free to come and go at will. The Juveniles for Justice Group was eventually successful and Brisbane's Youth Advocacy Centre was established in 1981.
