Correctional Services Regulations 2014

This regulation applies if a non‑custodial offender who is subject to a monitoring order is required by the order, or by a direction given by a probation and parole officer, to remain at the offender's approved residence during a specified period.

During the specified period the offender must remain at the offender's approved residence unless:

the offender's absence is for the purpose of seeking urgent treatment from a health practitioner; and

the offender gives a probation and parole officer a certificate, signed by a health practitioner, stating the grounds on which the treatment was sought; and

the certificate is given to the probation and parole officer not more than 72 hours (or any longer period allowed by the officer) after the offender left the offender's approved residence.

If the offender is absent from the offender's approved residence for the purpose mentioned in subregulation (2)(a), the offender must:

travel without delay and by the shortest practicable route from the approved residence to the place where the offender seeks treatment; and

return to the approved residence by the shortest practicable route as soon as practicable after being treated.
