One of the considerations of all bail applications is “acceptable risk.” Does the applicant pose unacceptable risk of reoffending while on bail? By volunteering for BailSafe the patient is demonstrating a willingness to engage in meaningful evidence-based treatment and submit to e-monitoring in the form of drug screens and scheduled geolocation check-in where required.

However, BailSafe is not a legal service. Patients should always seek legal advice as to the appropriateness of engagement in the BailSafe Treatment Program and how it may improve a bail application.

Generally speaking patients will need to commit a minimum of 4-5 hours per week. This includes weekly meetings with members of their multidisciplinary Care Team, 2 urine drug screens per week and weekly attendance at an AA/NA meeting. (AA/NA meetings are also available online).

BailSafe is a voluntary program and patients may cease engagement at any time. Patients should seek legal advice as to any adverse effects this may have on their bail and any future legal proceeding prior to making these decisions.
