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.
