Aim:

To reduce the number of people who experience legal problems associated with fines, licence suspension and disqualification, particularly in relation to young people and Aboriginal people affected by lack of alternative transport.

Objectives: 

The Working Group will:

1. Work with Legal Aid NSW, the Aboriginal Legal Service and the Department of Attorney General and Justice NSW (DAGJ) to promote participation in the Work and Development Orders (WDO) Program to key stakeholders and clarify referral pathways between them.  Stakeholders include:
   • people who are eligible to participate in the WDO program;
   • community workers who can refer clients to the WDO program; and
   • community organisations appropriate to register with the WDO program.
2. Explore practical and workable options for licensing non-licensed drivers and re-licensing disqualified drivers.
3. Provide advice about traffic law and licence issues to the DAGJ Licence Disqualification Working Party.
