Chaos Theory is a grassroots organisation that follow a unique model
using Violence Interrupters to reduce violence in our communities
We are a grassroots charity, working intensively with those most affected by community violence. Our Violence Interrupters work closely with individuals to diffuse conflict and reduce violence. We provide intense support for those in custody and community involved in high risk behaviours to create change through our prison in-reach and outreach services. We recognise that to address the core root of violence we must address the conflict that occurs within communities and amongst groups. As a highly trusted, credible team, we can reach those most difficult, challenging individuals. To address their behaviour, we also work closely with them to assist positive change.

‘For me Chaos Theory is an example of what we need more of in this world. It is a positive thing. For me, I was going through my own situations and dramas, and I feel like what Chaos Theory does is provides a place to figure things out. I love how the staff are so down to earth and can relate to you as they connect to your own level.’
