Parole Orders (Transfer) Act 1983

This section applies to a Tasmanian parolee whose parole is subject to a condition (whether imposed by the parole order or otherwise) that prohibits the parolee from leaving this State without permission.

Permission to leave this State is to be granted, varied and revoked, and conditions of permission are to be imposed and varied, in accordance with the relevant Ministerial arrangements.

As soon as practicable after any permission referred to in subsection (2) is granted, the Director – must incorporate the terms and conditions of the permission in an interstate travel permit; and must issue a copy of the permit to the parolee; and must provide – a copy of the permit; and such other documents or information about the parolee as are required or authorised to be sent under the relevant Ministerial arrangements – to the interstate Director of each State or Territory to which the permit authorises travel.

As soon as practicable after the terms or conditions of any permission referred to in subsection (2) are varied, the Director – must incorporate the terms and conditions of the permission, as varied, in an amended interstate travel permit; and must issue a copy of the amended permit to the parolee; and must provide – a copy of the amended permit; and such other documents or information as are relevant to the variation – to the interstate Director of each State or Territory to which the permit authorises travel.

As soon as practicable after any permission referred to in subsection (2) is revoked, the Director must provide written notice of that fact to the parolee and to the interstate Director of each State or Territory to which the permit authorised travel.

An interstate travel permit ceases to have effect in a State or Territory to which it authorises travel – if written notice referred to in subsection (5) is provided to the interstate Director of that State or Territory (regardless of whether or not the parolee has received the notice); or if the parolee is arrested pursuant to a warrant issued under the corresponding law of that State or Territory; or if the timeframes for travel authorised by the travel permit lapse.
