Corrective Services Act 2006

A relevant person can not complain to the human rights commissioner under the Anti-Discrimination Act, section 134 about an alleged contravention of that Act committed by a protected defendant against an offender until—

if the offender was detained in a corrective services facility when the alleged contravention happened—at least 4 months after the offender makes a written complaint about the alleged contravention to the chief executive at the corrective services facility where the offender was detained; or

if the offender was not detained in a corrective services facility when the alleged contravention happened—at least 4 months after the offender makes a written complaint about the alleged contravention to the chief executive at the community corrections office where the offender was required to report to a corrective services officer.

However, subsection (1) does not apply if the offender is notified in writing by the chief executive that the chief executive has finished dealing with the offender’s complaint.
