This Final Report contains 37 recommendations for reform. In making those recommendations the Commission has articulated a number of guiding principles for reform; namely, increasing access to court intervention programs (particularly in regional areas); ensuring protection of the rights of the offenders involved; adequate resources; and ongoing monitoring and evaluation. The Commission has recommended a legislative and policy framework for existing and future court intervention programs in order for them to operate in a coordinated and effective manner.
