The Perth Drug Court operates in the Perth Magistrates Court and accepts referrals from the District and Supreme Courts, as well as other Magistrates Courts around the State. The Children's Court Drug Court operates in the Perth Children's Court. Other court programs addressing drug related problems are available statewide for people whom Drug Court may not be warranted.
The Drug Court aims to: • support Drug Court participants in addressing their drug related problems and associated lifestyle • reduce the imprisonment of those with drug related problems, by addressing those problems that are integral to offending behaviour • reduce post-treatment supervision requirements for participants of the Drug Court by having them address relevant requirements at the earlier stage prior to final sentencing.
