Corrective Services Act 2006

A prisoner may apply for a parole order if the prisoner has reached the prisoner’s parole eligibility date in relation to the prisoner’s period of imprisonment.

However, a prisoner can not apply for a parole order—

if a previous application for a parole order made in relation to the period of imprisonment was refused—

until the end of the period decided under section 193(6)(b); or

unless the parole board consents; or

if an appeal has been made to a court against the conviction or sentence to which the period of imprisonment relates—until the appeal is decided; or

if the prisoner is a restricted prisoner and a restricted prisoner declaration is in force for the prisoner; or

if the prisoner is a no body-no parole prisoner and a no cooperation declaration is in force for the prisoner; or

otherwise—more than 180 days before the prisoner’s parole eligibility date.

The application must be made—

in the approved form; and

to the parole board.
