Correctional Services Department

In reply to Mr TELFER (Flinders) (3 July 2023). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. J.K. SZAKACS (Cheltenham—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services): I have been advised:

The key objectives of Work Ready Release Ready (WRRR) at its inception were to:

Support participants to build job skills pre-release through education, vocational training and employment readiness training.

Help participants to gain financial security, purpose and social connections as a result of returning to work and mitigate against the likelihood of breaches of community-based orders.

Assist participants to find and maintain employment post release.

To February 2023, WRRR has recorded 787 individual participants having engaged in the employment phase. Four hundred and twenty-five of those have gained employment, which is 54 per cent of the participants who have engaged in the employment phase so far.

Specific metrics for the WRRR program were not set at its inception.
