Rural Outreach Diversion Workers (RODW)
The Rural Outreach Diversion Worker service (RODW) was established in 2002
to provide a service tailored to rural needs in areas across Victoria where
offenders do not have access to the CREDIT program.
The role of the RODW is to provide a link between the community, police,
courts and the drug treatment service system. These workers primarily target
young offenders aged below 25 years, however they are also available to older
offenders assessed as being appropriate for an outreach program. The target
group is offenders who are apprehended for a non-drug related offence and
thus not eligible to receive a caution and participate in the Drug Diversion
Program, but whose drug use is a clear factor in their criminality.
