Parole Orders (Transfer) Act 1984
LegislationReferenced in 2 bills
Community Based Sentences (Interstate Transfer) Bill 2019
This bill allows adults serving community-based sentences in Queensland — such as probation, community service, or drug and alcohol treatment orders — to have their sentences formally transferred to another state or territory when they move interstate. It replaces informal arrangements that had no enforcement powers with a proper legal framework based on nationally agreed model legislation.
Corrective Services (Promoting Safety) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill amends Queensland's corrective services laws to improve safety for victims of crime, frontline corrective services officers, prisoners, and the wider community. It strengthens the QCS Victims Register, cracks down on prisoners misusing phone systems for domestic violence, extends police powers over dangerous sex offenders on supervision, and reforms the Parole Board to include victim and First Nations representation.
