The Melbourne Youth Justice Centre is a high security centre commissioned by the state government in 1993. It is located in the Parkville Youth Justice Precinct, and replaced the Turana Youth Training Centre. The Justice Centre is a custodial facility for males aged 15 to approximately 18, who have been sentenced to a Youth Justice Centre Order or remanded in custody.
The Melbourne Youth Justice Centre comprises six units: Remand North, Remand South, Admissions/Oakview, Westgate, Southbank and Eastern Hill.
After the age of 18, most residents of the Justice Centre are transferred to Malmsbury Youth Justice Centre, until they reach the age of 21.
