A support organisation to make a difference in the lives of disenfranchised people.
In April 2000 the agency changed its name to the Australian Community Support Organisation (ACSO). The change of name recognised that the agency’s work had extended beyond only providing support to ex-prisoners. Further program developments include Bridging the Gap (2001), Personal Support Program (2002) and THM/Correctional Housing Pathways Initiative (2002). ACSO achieved QICSA quality accreditation in 2001, and again in 2004.
In 2002 ACSO was successful in tendering for the Correctional Services Employment Pilot Program (CSEPP), and received a grant for the Sex Offender Transitional Outreach Program in 2004
