VPRS 17985 Admission Forms

Full description

The purpose of these records was to provide summary information for clients received at the Turana Youth Training Centre (VA 971), between 1987 and up until its closure in 1993; and from 1993-2006 at Turana's replacement facility, the Melbourne Juvenile Justice Centre (later the Melbourne Youth Justice Centre) (VA 5086).

These records contain similar information in relation to admissions into custody to that recorded in the Admission and Discharge Registers (of which there are multiple Turana series held at PROV). Information recorded in the Admission Forms that is not found in the Registers is: Client File Number, offence, physical description of the youth and length of sentence.

The forms were used as follows: White (original) - Administration Property Officer; Pink (copy 1) - Police; Yellow (copy 2) - Records; Blue (copy 3) - Section. The colours of the forms that have been transferred into archival custody vary. In the latter years the original white copy only has survived.
