Tasmania Police
U-Turn Program
U-Turn is a best practice diversionary program for young people aged 15-20 who have been involved in, or who are at risk of becoming involved in, motor vehicle theft.
The core component of U-Turn is a structured, 10-week automotive training course in car maintenance and body work delivered in a workshop environment.
U-Turn was piloted in Tasmania over a 24-month period, with funding provided by the National Motor Vehicle Theft Reduction Council and the Australian Government's National Crime Prevention Program.
U-Turn is delivered by Mission Australia under contract to Tasmania Police, and is funded by the State Government. The U-Turn workshop is located in Southern Tasmania at Moonah.
