PERFORMANCE, ACHIEVEMENTS AND OUTCOMES Swift, Certain and Fair Justice and the COMMIT Program Pilot The Darwin-based Compliance Management or Incarceration in the Territory (COMMIT) Program trial officially commenced on 27 June 2016, and is quickly gaining momentum with the judiciary. The pilot, based on the principles that underpin Hawaii’s Opportunity Probation with Enforcement (HOPE) model: swift, certain and fair justice. In September 2015, the Department commenced scoping the viability of trialing the HOPE model in the NT. The model relies on clear pre-determined sanctions being swiftly imposed on probationers for non-compliance in an effort to increase an offender’s ability and motivation to participate in behavioural change processes. The strategy is aimed at reducing the number of breaches by drug/alcohol offenders and others at high risk of recidivism. A small dedicated project team was assembled in Community Corrections to gather and evaluate the research, investigate possible models for the NT and drive the project forward. It was identified that the project would require a shift in suitability assessments and breach practices, as well as collaboration with police and the courts, to ensure offenders could appear quickly before a judge after a breach. The project team has worked closely with the Steering Committee, external stakeholders as well as Darwin and Regional Community Corrections Probation and Parole Officers, to develop and communicate the model and address any issues. The Steering Committee selected the title ‘COMMIT Program’ (Compliance Management or Incarceration in the Territory) for the Darwinbased pilot from over 60 names put forward by Community Corrections staff. While the pilot officially commenced in June 2016, the Supreme Court has handed down several orders with supervision that are to be managed in line with the principles of swift, certain and fair justice since October 2015, right across the NT. The Department has worked closely with NT Police and the Courts to facilitate swift arrests and breach hearings where necessary. The pilot will be closely monitored by the COMMIT Project Team and a six month and 12 month evaluation will be conducted. NTDCS looks forward to working with stakeholders as the project trial continues. The project team has worked hard to transform the swift, certain and fair principles into a reality. A Steering Committee, chaired by Justice Southwood, was established to ensure that key stakeholders were engaged throughout the development process and into the implementation phase. Committee members include Local Court Chief Judge, Dr Lowndes and representatives from the Courts, Public Prosecutions, NTDCS, NT Police as well as several legal agencies.

The Borroloola office also oversees Robinson River (150 kilometers to the south east) near the Queensland border. The office is currently supervising 43 offenders.
