Parole Board Queensland Secretariat

Corrective Services (Parole Board) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2017

This bill replaces Queensland's three separate parole boards with a single, professionalised Parole Board Queensland led by a former judge. It also gives corrective services officers clearer power to electronically monitor parolees through GPS devices and curfews. The reforms respond to the 2016 Sofronoff review of the parole system.
