A person is eligible to participate in the program only if—
the person is an Aboriginal person, and
the person is an offender, and
the person has been assessed as suitable for participation in the program by the Aboriginal Community Justice Group for the specified place at a meeting convened in accordance with Division 2 (or by the Program Officer, under clause 38), and
the person enters into an agreement to participate in the program, and
