Additional Information: The Rural Outreach Drug Diversion Youth Worker (RODDW) program is an outreach drug and alcohol service for young people. The program aims to widen the safety net, so more young people at risk of legal and health consequences, due to their substance misuse, are diverted away from the justice system and into treatment.

The program is designed to be an alternative to criminal justice sanctions and to address individual drug related behaviour through assessment, education and treatment.

The program also provides drug assessment and treatment to young people who are apprehended for a non-drug related offence and are not eligible to receive a caution and participate in the Drug Diversion program, but whose drug use is a clear factor in their offending behaviour.

The Outreach Worker can work with young people in their own environment, maintaining regular contact and providing support in following through on referrals, including transport, to referral agency and assisting the person to build a range of support structures. The worker will act as case coordinator with the advantage of mobility and flexibility to meet the specific needs of the young offenders.

Eligibility
Young people between 12 - 25 years living in the Mount Alexander and Central Goldfields Shires (older people may be assessed as eligible) whose drug use is a clear factor in their offending behaviour.

To Arrange an Appointment

Additional Information: The program is a referral pathway and education program designed to divert young people away from the criminal justice system.

When police detect a young person under the age of 18 years either in possession of, under the influence of or consuming alcohol they offer them the education session as an alternative to an official police caution or an infringement notice.
The education session uses a harm minimisation approach to educate and inform young people (and their parents or guardians) about the harms associated with alcohol and ways to reduce these harms, as well as the supports and services available to assist people who have a problem with alcohol use.

This program covers the Mt Alexander and Macedon Ranges Shires in partnership with Victoria Police. The project was originally funded by the Victorian Law Enforcement Drug Fund & the Alcohol Education and Rehabilitation Foundation.

The program education session is also open to parents or young people, who have not been referred via police, wanting assistance with information regarding alcohol use.
