Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders—community-based corrections orders
(Question No 968)
Ms Kikkert asked the Minister for Corrections, upon notice, on 25 November 2022:
(1) Does page 78 of the Justice and Community Safety Directorate 2021-2022 annual report reference the launch of two external alternative reporting sites for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander offenders; if so, when were those sites launched and where are they.
(2) Can the Minister provide a general overview of how this pilot works and what aspects of it make it culturally appropriate.
Mr Gentleman: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
On 12 July 2021, ACT Corrective Services (ACTCS) launched an alternative reporting site at the offices of Yeddung Mura in Fadden for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander offenders. On 4 May 2022, the second alternative reporting site for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander offenders was launched at Winnunga Nimmityjah Aboriginal Health and Community Services in Narrabundah.
Community Corrections Officers (CCOs) attend these sites one day a week in conjunction with the Cultural Engagement Officer to meet with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander offenders who are subject to community-based corrections orders. This enables offenders to meet their reporting obligations in a culturally appropriate environment, with the aim to reduce the risk of non-compliance and promote successful completion of orders.
