(4) The Program aims to provide a service coordination point for other community service providers in the ACT and works with a wide range of service providers and NGOs to best support the diverse needs of the clients. Clients access the service voluntarily and the length of time a client engages with the Program varies based on the individual’s needs. As such, clients do not ‘complete’ the Program - the depth and duration of every client’s engagement varies. ACTCS therefore cannot provide ‘completion’ data.
(5) As clients voluntarily engage with the Program, the frequency and consistency of engagement varies greatly among participants depending on individual circumstances. ACTCS does not record data for specific drop off points of participants in the Program.
(6) The Program does not provide a handover service, as a client’s participation in the program is voluntary. The Program works collaboratively with other service providers for the duration of a client’s voluntary engagement with the service.
(7) The Program works primarily with the Aboriginal Legal Service (ALS), but is also connected with Tjillari Justice Aboriginal Corporation and Gugan Gulwan to provide support to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients.
Additionally, as part of the Justice and Community Safety Directorate’s Community Justice Program, the ALS is contracted to provide throughcare support to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients.
