Amended target		
Justice and Community Safety Directorate (JACS)
	Output Class 2: Corrective Services
Output 2.1: Corrective Services	2.1.a(ii) Completion rates of Community Corrections Orders:
- The proportion of Community Corrections reparation orders successfully completed within the counting period 	80%	60%	Target amended	

Schedule B
Section 19D of the Financial Management Act 1996 (FMA) provides that the responsible Minister and the Treasurer may amend relevant performance criteria by notifiable instrument.  Section 19D(3)(g) provides that performance criteria may be amended where the responsible Minister and Treasurer are satisfied that other performance criteria should be adopted for the provision of outputs by the directorate.
The original target (80%) assumed that compliance rates for community corrections reparation orders would be similar to community corrections supervision orders.  However, a review of the target by ACT Corrective Services indicated that, based on the three year average completion rate of community work orders in the ACT, a more appropriate target for this measure is 60%.
