Corrective Services Act 2006

An interstate leave permit issued to a prisoner authorises the prisoner to be absent from the corrective services facility—

for the purpose and period stated in the permit; and

as stated in the permit, either—

unescorted; or

while being escorted.

An interstate leave permit requiring the prisoner to be escorted authorises the prisoner to be escorted—

to the participating State, whether or not across another State, and within the participating State; and

back to the corrective services facility.

While a prisoner is on leave under an interstate leave permit, the prisoner remains in the chief executive’s custody.

The time spent by a prisoner on leave under an interstate leave permit counts as time served under the prisoner’s period of imprisonment, but only if the prisoner does not breach a condition of the permit.
