Young Offenders (Interstate Transfer) Act 1987

An arrangement for the transfer of a young offender to or from Queensland shall—

provide for the acceptance of and means of dealing with the young offender in the receiving State; and

specify each order of a court of the sending State to which the young offender is subject (including an order deemed by a previous arrangement with Queensland or with another State to have been made by a court of the sending State); and

for each order specified under paragraph (b)—

specify the way in which it is to operate in the receiving State, which shall be as similar as possible to the way in which it would operate in the sending State if the arrangement were not made; and

specify the maximum time for which it is to operate, which shall not be longer than the maximum time for which it would operate in the sending State if the arrangement were not made.

An arrangement made by the permanent head for the transfer of a young offender from Queensland to another State may provide for an escort to be authorised in Queensland to hold, take and keep custody of the young offender for the purpose of transferring the young offender to the place and custody specified in the arrangement.

A reference in subsection (1) to an order of a court of a sending State is a reference to any sentence, period of detention, probation, parole or other order which could be made or imposed by such a court.
