Where we are up to
Under the Work and Development Permit (WDP) scheme, more than 150 members of the Aboriginal community have been supported to manage their fine debt, while participating in a range of services to improve their wellbeing. Currently there are eleven Aboriginal organisations accredited as sponsors. The department is working to increase this number, in an effort to reach the Aboriginal community more widely.
