(1) The Department of Corrective Services does not directly provide such services to convicted sex offenders, but relies upon Service Agreements with Non-government Human Service organisations, which provide a broad range of programs and services for all prisoners. The Department does not record details specifically identifying sex offender support under these programs.
(2) Programs that aim to develop interpersonal skills, and encourage and reinforce pro-social changes in attitudes and thinking patterns can have significant impact on recidivism. Supportive relationships such as those provided by UCW Outreach and Outcare have been found to decrease risk of relapse in rapists and child molesters.
(3) Questions regarding the allocation of Homeswest housing should be directed to the Minister for Housing and Works.
