About – Traffic Offenders Rehabilitation Program

What is a traffic offenders program?

The Traffic Offenders Rehabilitation Program (TORP) is a Court Approved road safety program designed specifically for traffic offenders. We provide participants with the information and skills necessary to develop positive attitudes towards driving and to change negative driving behavior.

Our ultimate goal is to reduce the likelihood of participants committing any further traffic offences.

The Cost of the course is $180 and must be paid in full before program commencement.

WHAT WILL I GAIN FROM THE EXPERIENCE?

If you have been convicted of a traffic offence you have the option of attending the traffic offenders program. The traffic offenders program provides participants with not only the skills and educational materials to make informed decisions whilst on the road, but also provides an opportunity to demonstrate to the Judge/Magistrate you are making an effort to learn from your mistakes. After successful completion of the program you will be issued a certificate at the end of the final module and a report will be sent to your nominated courthouse.

WILL I RECEIVE A LIGHTER SENTENCE?

Every case is different; Attending the traffic offenders program does not automatically grant you a reduction in your sentence. Although, it is not uncommon for the Magistrate to issue the offender a lighter sentence and fine dependent on the individual circumstances of the case. Attending the traffic offenders program is one of the best things you can do to improve your chance of a sentence reduction if you have committed a traffic offence.

What is covered during the program?

The program covers the 8 following areas, each designed and presented by qualified professionals:

Road Safety Impact of Offences Police,
Ambulance & Emergency Services Perspective Road Trauma & its victims
Drinking / Drug Taking & Driving Legal Information
Motor Vehicle Maintenance Driver Behaviour & Speeding

Great course

Tammy Chu

I had a really positive experience completing the Traffic Offenders Rehabilitation Program. The course was informative, well-structured and provided valuable insight into road safety, responsible driving behaviours and the serious consequences of traffic offences. It encouraged me to reflect on my own decisions, take accountability for my actions and develop a greater understanding of how dangerous driving can impact individuals, families and the wider community. I particularly appreciated how the program focused not only on educating participants about road laws, but also on encouraging genuine reflection and positive behavioural change. I have taken away valuable lessons that I will continue to apply moving forward. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking to become a more responsible and safety-conscious road user.

Well worth doing, all drivers should do this course. Very supportive.

Stephen Leahy

Excellent course with great real world examples. A real eye opener for me.

Anthony Anderson

To be honest, the program allowed me to take a hard look at how I was driving. Some of the facts about speed and phones really surprised me. But what stayed with me was hearing how crashes affect families. That stuck with me. I’m a lot more patient on the road now, and I’m glad I learnt this lesson the way I did, not after hurting someone.

Reef Luedecke

I found the TORP informative and worthwhile. It helped me better understand the risks associated with dangerous driving and encouraged me to reflect on my own actions and responsibilities as a driver. I believe the lessons I have learnt will help me make safer decisions on the road in the future.
