You can access the brochure here.

By breaking the ongoing cycle of drug dependency and crime, the Drug Court oversees the re-integration of repeat offenders into lawful community life. You can access Drug Court publications here.
- Forum Sentencing: Forum Sentencing brings together an offender, the victim(s) of the offender's crime and other people affected by the crime.The program operates at selected NSW Local Courts and will be extended across the State over the next few years.
- MERIT: Magistrates Early Referral Into Treatment (MERIT) is a special program based in the Local Courts that provides the opportunity for adult defendants with drug problems to work, on a voluntary basis, towards rehabilitation, as part of the bail process. You can access MERIT publications here.
- Youth Drug and Alcohol Court (YDAC): The Youth Drug and Alcohol Court aims to reduce re-offending by young people who have become entrenched in the criminal justice system by helping them overcome their drug or alcohol problem.

Aboriginal Programs

- Care Circles: Care Circles is a program where Aboriginal people ("Community representatives") in the Shoalhaven area help the Children's Court make some decisions about Aboriginal kids. The decisions are about "care matters" so they are usually about where kids should live, who they see or services the family may need to help them care for their kids.
- Circle Sentencing factsheet: Circle Sentencing is an alternative sentencing court for adult Aboriginal offenders. The Circle has the full sentencing powers of the court. It directly involves local Aboriginal people in the process of sentencing offenders, with the key aims of making it a more meaningful experience for the offender and improving the Aboriginal community's confidence in the criminal justice system.
- Safe Aboriginal Youth (SAY) Program (formerly the Aboriginal Community Patrols Program): The Safe Aboriginal Youth Program (SAY) was established in 2009 after a review of the former Aboriginal Community Patrols program. The SAY program provides two different youth support options, a Safe Aboriginal Youth Patrol and a Safe Aboriginal Youth Activity program. More information is available on the SAY factsheet.
