Victory Outreach has strict rules to which all residents must adhere - including continued abstinence from alcohol or illegal substances, respect for others (including zero violent or abusive behaviour), and the following of structured programmes and activities as individually determined.

These include those with convictions for arson with intent to endanger life or racially motivated offences, persistent patterns of violence, violent sexual offenders, those on the sex offenders register or subject to Risk to Children Prevention Act, those requiring intervention of a Mental Health Team, or subject to long term prescription treatment with psychotic medicine.
