What We’ve Been Up To…
National recognition for prevention through purpose
Dismantle and its social enterprise ReNew Property Maintenance have been nationally recognised at the 2025 Australian Crime and Violence Prevention Awards (ACVPA) for their impact helping young people overcome barriers to employment and independence.
The award celebrates Dismantle’s holistic model, from early engagement through BikeRescue, to real employment and mentoring through ReNew and JobReadii, proving that prevention happens when young people are given purpose, structure and support.
Young people experiencing complex barriers to employment often face the most hurdles to finding and keeping a job. But a recent milestone from Dismantle’s JobReadii program shows just how powerful sustained, targeted support can be in helping them build brighter futures.
We’re proud to see ReNew Property Maintenance recognised as a finalist in the WA Social Enterprise Council’s 2025 Social Enterprise of the Year award. Since launching in 2019, ReNew has created over 130 jobs for at-risk young people, paid more than $1.5 million in wages, and achieved a 73% transition rate into further employment, training, or education.
This nomination celebrates the power of social enterprise, and the young people, partners, and clients who make our impact possible.
We are exceptionally proud to announce that Dismantle CEO, Pat Ryan, has been awarded the Order of Australia Medal for his service to the community through social welfare organisations.
