Community service order project sites

There are some limitations as to what sites can be used for community service. Very broadly, they are that the individual or organisation:

  • is not able to perform the work themselves
  • cannot pay someone to complete the work
  • has no other person available or willing to do the work for them

There are some circumstances where work can be done for Government agencies or local councils.

There are also limitations in the type of work that can be done. The Community Corrections' office in your area can provide advice in this regard.

To become a project site, an individual or organisation representative should refer to and complete the appropriate application form. 

It is possible for offenders to complete some of their hours by attending approved courses or programs.

Attendance would be authorised by a probation officer in consultation with the regional manager. Usually this would target areas considered to be specifically relevant to the individual offender, such as:

  • alcohol and/or drug treatment
  • counselling for gambling
  • anger management programs
  • budgeting or financial management
  • parenting skills
