Offenders are referred to rehabilitation programs to address specific offending behaviour. If completed, these programs play an important part in the Parole Board’s consideration of work release and parole applications.
Treatment programs are provided across the State – in prison and the community – to address substance use, sex offending and alternatives to violence.
The Department is committed to develop quality programs in this area, especially those which help the transition of prisoners back into the community and reduce the risk of re-offending.
Program areas
Specialised programs fall in four broad areas:
- sex offending;
- violent offending;
- addictions; and
- cognitive skills.
Offender Programs Service Guide
The range of programs offered to prisoners is published in the Offender Programs Service Guide. This guide is updated annually.
