Work & Development Permit Scheme
The Work and Development Permit (WDP) Scheme is a new initiative to help people who are experiencing difficulty paying court fines due to hardship.
Under a WDP, eligible people can apply to complete approved activities under the supervision of a sponsor, in place of paying the amount owed.
