Treatment Intervention Court

In reply to Mr TEAGUE (Heysen) (20 June 2024). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector): I have been advised of the following:

Participants on a program for lesser periods can also be indicative of success in terms of a program providing an alternative to a custodial sentence. This performance indicators reflect the per cent of participants who did not complete the 12-month program but who completed a minimum of six months.

During their time on the program, they undertake drug counselling and are monitored regularly with urine testing while on home detention bail, which means they are not in custody.
