About Us
Founded by

SOCIAL WORKERS.

Guided by

LIVED EXPERIENCE.

Not Just A Statistic was founded by qualified social workers with more than 12 years combined experience across the human services sector. Our work is grounded in evidence and professional practice, but it is the people we walk alongside who guide it.

Our clients are the experts of their own lives.

We take our lead from those who know their story best.

Our Story

CHANGE EXTENDS
BEYOND THE
INDIVIDUAL.

Mentoring young people
before the system does.
Early Intervention

We recognise that lasting change extends beyond the individual. By supporting families, carers and loved ones, we strengthen relationships, promote stability and help create the foundation for successful reintegration, healthier communities and brighter futures.

For many young people at risk of justice involvement, an early relationship with a consistent, non-judgemental adult can change the trajectory of their life. Our early intervention work is built around mentoring, life skills, education and employment support, and family connection, before things escalate.

We know that for many people, the justice system does not feel built for them. Our role is to help you understand it, navigate it, and ensure you never have to face it alone.

Alongside qualified social workers, our team includes peer workers with lived experience of the justice system. Some of our peer workers first connected with us through our support services and now choose to give back by supporting others facing similar challenges.

What Guides Us
Without judgement

We work with people from all backgrounds and experiences without judgement, and recognise that every story is different.

Strength, not deficit

Our focus is not on defining people by their past but on recognising their strengths and removing barriers.

Family included

Justice involvement affects entire families. We support partners, parents, children and carers as part of the same work.

Lived experience

Alongside qualified social workers, our team includes peer workers with lived experience of the system.

A promise

"NO MATTER WHERE YOU'VE BEEN OR WHAT YOU'VE EXPERIENCED, YOU'LL BE MET WITHOUT JUDGEMENT."

With honesty, respect, compassion, and a genuine commitment to helping you move forward.
