This document is part of a collection


Table 11 Community payback orders with an unpaid work or other activity requirement commenced by length of unpaid work requirement: 2011-12 to 2013-14

  2011-12 2012-131 2013-14
Orders with unpaid work/other activity requirement 7,763 12,785 14,879
Level 1: 100 hours or less 3,946 6,503 7,982
Level 2: Over 100 - 300 hours 3,817 6,172 6,897
Average length (hours) 120.4 124.2 120.6
Level 1 77.9 75.5 73.3
Level 2 164.2 175.6 175.3

Notes: Figures exclude cases where the requirement was imposed after commencement. For cases where the length of the requirement was amended after the order was imposed, figures for 2011-12 are for the most recent length, while those for 2012-13 and 2013-14 are for the length when the order was first imposed. This is due to the change from an aggregate to a unit-level return, but the effect is not considered to be substantive.

1. Revisions were made to the 2012-13 data and, as a consequence, information on the number of hours imposed was unknown for a small number of orders. The average length is therefore calculated on orders where the hours imposed was known.
