Corrective Services Act 2006

This section applies if—

a personal visitor of a prisoner applies for an access approval for a corrective services facility under section 155; and

the chief executive has not decided the application under section 156.

The chief executive may grant the personal visitor approval to access the corrective services facility on an interim basis (interim access approval) until the chief executive has decided the application under section 156, if the chief executive is satisfied it is appropriate in the circumstances.

A personal visit under the interim access approval must be a non-contact visit, unless it is impracticable having regard to the facilities at the corrective services facility.

The chief executive may impose conditions on the interim access approval.

The interim access approval has effect until the chief executive decides the application under section 156.

While the interim access approval has effect, it is taken to be an access approval.
