Sex Offender Treatment Program
Our 'Good Lives' Sex Offender Contact Program is designed to meet the needs of individuals who have committed sexual offences. We provide a comprehensive range of therapeutic services aimed at reducing the risk of reoffending and promoting long-term behavioural change.
Understanding the Program
The 'Good Lives' Sex Offender Program at Noosa Psychological Services is an initiative designed to address the complex needs of individuals who have committed sexual offences. The program focuses on rehabilitating offenders by providing them with the tools and support necessary to prevent reoffending. Our approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychoeducation and relapse prevention strategies. Participants learn to recognise and manage the cognitive distortions and impulses that contribute to their offending behaviour, promoting long-term change and reducing the risk of reoffending.
At Noosa Psychological Services, our Sex Offender Treatment Program integrates the “Good Lives” model, an approach that focuses on helping individuals lead fulfilling lives by meeting their core needs in positive, non-harmful ways. This model recognises that offending behaviour often stems from attempts to fulfil legitimate needs, and aims to redirect these efforts into constructive, pro-social actions.

Therapeutic Interventions & Strategies
The core of our program involves a combination of therapeutic interventions tailored to meet the unique needs of each participant. Individual therapy sessions focus on exploring personal histories, understanding the factors that lead to offending and developing healthier coping mechanisms. The program also includes psychoeducation components that help participants understand the impact of their actions on victims, as well as the broader societal consequences. This multifaceted approach allows for a comprehensive understanding of the issues at hand and promotes sustainable behavioural change.
Long-Term Support & Reintegration
Rehabilitation is a continuous process that extends beyond the initial treatment phase. At Noosa Psychological Services, we provide long-term support to help maintain progress. One goal is to facilitate successful reintegration into society, emphasising the importance of victim empathy, accountability and responsibility, thereby minimising the risk of further offending.
