Court diversion options for Aboriginal people
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people attending court for minor offences can access culturally secure treatment for their drug use through any of the court diversion programs. These include the:
- Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) Diversion Program (we've made a video featuring Aboriginal images that outlines the AOD Diversion Program, benefits of participating, and how to access the program - view it here)
- Diversion programs for youth (under 18s)
- Mental health court diversion and support program
