Abstract: This paper outlines a number of programs that are run by Commonwealth, state and territory governments. The Commonwealth and each state and territory government has completed a survey of the specific courts for Indigenous offenders in each jurisdiction; non custodial sentencing options; custodial rehabilitation and therapeutic correctional programs and post release programs for Indigenous offenders. These programs are examples of current initiatives on the ground. However, there is a lack of research into and evaluation of programs for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people alike. Many programs are designed overseas and are yet to be trialled and/or evaluated for Indigenous offenders. Many of the programs being run by state and territories suffer from lack of a continuous funding source and/or proper evaluation.
