Corrective Services Act 2006

The chief executive may make a further safety order for a prisoner to take effect at the end of an existing safety order.

However, if the existing safety order was made on the advice of an authorised practitioner, the further safety order may be made only on the advice of another authorised practitioner.

The further safety order must be made not more than 7 days before the end of the existing safety order.

Also, if the existing safety order is taken to be for a period of more than 1 month under subsection (5), the chief executive must not make the further safety order unless—

not more than 14 days before the end of the existing safety order, the chief executive gives written notice to the prisoner advising the prisoner that—

the chief executive is about to consider whether a further safety order should be made; and

the prisoner may, within 7 days after receiving the written notice, make submissions to the chief executive about anything relevant to the decision about making the further safety order; and

the chief executive considers any submission the prisoner makes under paragraph (a)(ii).

For this section, 2 or more safety orders running consecutively are taken to be 1 safety order.

Example—Initially, a safety order for a prisoner is made for a period of 2 weeks and a further safety order for the prisoner is made under this section for a period of 3 weeks. For this section, the existing safety order is taken to have been made for a period of 5 weeks.
