Justice Verity McWilliam discussed the ACT’s drug and alcohol sentencing court, a rehabilitation-focused program that helps individuals with substance abuse issues through personalized plans involving judges, social workers, and health experts.
Designed for non-violent offenders linked to drug or alcohol use, the court emphasizes treatment, accountability, and support over punishment.
Early results show improved compliance and lower reoffending rates, though long-term data is still limited.
The program is voluntary and continues to be assessed for effectiveness and potential expansion.
