Connexions was Victoria's first dual diagnosis service, supporting young people with both mental health issues and drug use problems.

After the closure of Pentridge Prison in 1997 Jesuit Social Services ran public tours and commissioned artists to decorate the cells with paintings for the ‘In the Can’ exhibit, drawing 360,300 people.

During this time the organisation gained exposure for its work – led by Father John Brosnan – “educating the community about the nature of the prison world”.

[2] In 1999, the organisation published Unequal In Life, authored by Professor Tony Vinson, which investigates the distribution of social disadvantage in Victorian and New South Wales by postcode.

[8] Around this time Jesuit Social Services launched the Bridging the Gap program, which provided transitional support to young adults leaving prison.

[14] On invitation from local stakeholders the organisation also began working in Alice Springs to support communities with capacity building and advocacy.

In 2012, Jesuit Social Services launched Next Steps, which works with young people aged 16–24 years old who have involvement with the justice system and are experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

[15] In 2014, in partnership with Cabrini Health, Jesuit Social Services established the Catholic Alliance for People Seeking Asylum (CAPSA).

Jesuit Social Services continued to expand its reach in the Northern Territory in 2016, bringing the Group Conferencing program to Darwin.

[19] In 2017, Jesuit Social Services celebrated its 40th anniversary alongside 430 guests, with an address from Senator Patrick Dodson and a special performance from singer/songwriter Archie Roach.

[11] On the #JusticeSolutions Tour in the same year, senior leaders at the organisation explored innovative and best practice approaches to youth justice in Norway, Spain and Germany, as well as parts of the US and UK.

[11] The #WorthASecondChance campaign was launched in 2018 with the aim of building a groundswell of community support for a fairer youth justice system in Victoria.

The Hub is a permaculture garden dedicated to social and environmental justice, and runs a range of workshops and training programs to help community members learn new skills and lead more sustainable lives.

Through the program, Jesuit Social Services assists employers to access a pool of potential job ready and culturally diverse employees.

[21] Building on its 2017 tour of parts of Europe and the US, senior leaders at Jesuit Social Services embarked on a study trip to New Zealand in early 2019.

[21] Around 2019 Jesuit Social Service also initiated two pilot programs, RESTORE (developed in partnership with Melbourne Children's Court) and Breaking the Cycle.

[23] The same year, the organisation also established the Ignatius Learning Centre, a small specialist secondary school located in Richmond, for young people in contact with the justice system.

In the financial year 2020-2021 the organisation made 31 submissions to State, Territory and Commonwealth Government and Parliamentary Inquiries, Reviews and Royal Commissions.
