practice. IASIO?s current operational scope includes three national
Services and two smaller projects: The Linkage Service, the Gate
Service, the Resettlement Service; and, The Community Support Scheme
and The Supported Employment Service. In particular, it is the only
national organisation for adult offenders in the community and

psychometric assessment, resettlement planning & support and placement
in the community. IASIO?s core mission is the social inclusion of
