Commonwealth Parole Board (Consequential and Transitional Provisions) Act 2026

If the Commonwealth Parole Board decides to make a parole order for a person, the Commonwealth Parole Board must make a parole order for the person under this subsection as soon as possible after making the decision.

A parole order for a person made under subsection (1) must:

be in writing; and

specify whether or not the person is to be released on parole subject to supervision; and

if the person is released on parole subject to supervision, and it is proposed that the supervision should end before the end of the person’s parole period—specify the day on which the supervision period ends.

For when a person is released on parole in accordance with a parole order, see section 19AM.

A person released on parole must comply with any conditions of the parole order during the parole period (see sections 19AMA, 19AN and 19AU).

If the Commonwealth Parole Board considers that in all the circumstances it is appropriate to do so, the Commonwealth Parole Board may specify in a parole order that a person is to be released from prison on a day that is before the end of the non‑parole period for the person, but is not earlier than 30 days before the end of that period.
