Work and Development Permit (WDP)

 The Work and Development Permit (WDP) scheme provides vulnerable and disadvantaged people a non-financial way to deal with their fines and the circumstances that led to getting the fines. 

If eligible, you can reduce your fine debt by participating in certain activities and treatment under the supervision of an approved sponsor. 

Growth

We help you to grow and work through the reasons for receiving the fines, all while paying off your fines.

No Judgement

All members of our team work form a person-centered, non-judgmental approach. These are counselling values we uphold strongly.

Real Results

Make a meaningful difference to both your life and your families lives. Change is possible. We will support you on your journey.
