Getting a handle on substance use and criminal activities is a massive challenge for community-based offenders. KickStart programs deliver the strategies to meet those challenges. KickStart’s fundamental aim is to create meaningful behavioural change in community-based offenders. During the first pilots participants reported significant improvements in their emotional regulation (as measured by the DERS); and reduced criminal thinking (as measured by the PICTS).


Other key indicators of behaviour change in KickStart participants are the frequency of urine test breaches and Correction Order breaches.

Opportunities to Scale Impact

Kickstart program, which utilises Tacklit Engage and Care OS, provides significant benefits to the team's approach to group treatment. The program offers several new features that streamline the administration and co-ordination side of group treatment, enabling clinicians to spend more time following up with clients and boosting engagement.


The program's ability to set up group sessions is the biggest benefit, as it significantly reduces the time spent on menial tasks such as sending individual reminder texts per session or scheduling individual clients for group sessions. This streamlined approach allows the team to focus on more impactful work, leading to better outcomes.


Tacklit's use of different mediums in Telehealth or face-to-face sessions has increased engagement, and clients always have their activities available to complete, eliminating the need for physical workbooks. The program's spell check and larger text features have also been highly appreciated.

The built-in workbook feature allows clinicians to monitor a client's progress throughout the group, including surveys and assessments visible to the clinician. Having an electronic version of the workbook ensures that clients are completing their exercises throughout the program and allows clinicians to flag clients who require extra assistance.

The creation through the program of the digitised Self Management Plan provides an artefact at the end of the program. Having a digital version makes it faster, simpler to refer to and share with others.
