U-Turn Program & Supported Accommodation Service

The Department of Police and Public Safety invites tenders for the delivery of the U-Turn program and supported accommodation service from January 2005 to 30 June 2007. The program is to be located in Southern Tasmania and based on the National Motor Vehicle Theft Reduction Council's Best Practice Model and Business Plan for a Young Recidivist Car Theft Offender Program. In addition, restorative justice is to be a key emphasis of the program, with participants undertaking community projects such as repairing vehicles for presentation to victims of motor vehicle theft. Funding for the U-Turn program and supported accommodation service has been provided to the Department of Police and Public Safety by the State Government as a 2004/2005 budget initiative.
