- Intensive correction orders,
- Sentence Administration Board,
- Drug and alcohol treatment orders,
- Recidivism outcomes,
- Experiences of offenders and their families,
- Experiences of victim survivors, and
- Any other relevant matter.

The Committee would like to make the inquiry accessible to people with lived experience of the community corrections system:
- people living under community correction orders,
- their families, and
- victims of crime.
If you know someone who would like to be involved, but they are more comfortable talking than writing a submission, please contact us to discuss options available.
This inquiry is now complete.
