Corrective Services (Parole Board) Amendment Bill 2025
This bill closes a gap in parole oversight by requiring the full Parole Board Queensland to review all urgent decisions made by individual board members about suspending a prisoner's parole. Previously, only decisions to suspend parole were reviewed by the full Board — decisions not to suspend could go unchecked. The bill also retrospectively validates past Board decisions made this way since 2017.
Corrective Services (Promoting Safety) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill amends Queensland's corrective services laws to improve safety for victims, frontline officers, prisoners, and the community. It strengthens the Victims Register, cracks down on prisoners misusing phone systems to perpetrate domestic violence, extends police monitoring powers for dangerous child sex offenders, and introduces body-worn cameras and gel blaster protections for corrective services officers.
