Corrective Services Act 2006

A personal visit must be a non-contact visit, unless the chief executive approves that the visit be a contact visit.

In deciding whether to give the approval, the chief executive must consider the following—

the requirements of any court order relating to the prisoner;

whether the prisoner has previously escaped or attempted to escape from custody;

whether the prisoner has previously given a positive test sample;

information about the prisoner or visitor that indicates a risk to the security or good order of the corrective services facility.

During a contact visit, a personal visitor must not—

engage in sexual activity with a prisoner; or

behave in a disorderly, indecent, offensive, riotous or violent manner.

If a personal visitor fails to comply with subsection (3), the personal visitor may be directed to leave the corrective services facility.
