Allocation of fines

Fines for extremism prevention, intervention and deradicalisation

Launched as a pioneer in the prevention of extremism, Violence Prevention Network has been commissioned by federal and state governments to develop nationwide standards and quality criteria for radicalisation prevention and deradicalisation in correctional facilities and the probationary system. More than 1,500 young people at risk of extremism have participated in a Violence Prevention Network Training since 2001, and in 2012 the program was expanded to include adult offenders with a terrorist background. By allocating fines to be paid to our organisation, you support our work with extremist, at-risk and radicalised youth and adults.

Transparent management of funds
