The prison disability support initiative (PDSI) is a state-wide rehabilitation service that assists people in custody with cognitive impairments and complex disability needs. The PDSI is a unit within Corrections Victoria, which is part of the Department of Justice and Community Safety.

The PDSI aims to:

  • Identify prisoners with neurological and physical impairments.
  • Assess disability needs to inform decisions on placement, case management and rehabilitation.
  • Educate corrections staff on how to better understand and support the people in their care.
  • Link individuals with appropriate disability support services.

  • Conduct thorough intake assessments and administer psychometric tests.
