Young Offenders Regulations 1995

Subject to subregulations (2A), (2) and (3), the gratuities that may be credited to a detainee in a detention centre other than a special detention centre are $21.48 each week.

The rate of gratuities to be credited under subregulation (1) is to be varied each year according to the variation in the previous year of the Consumer Price Index (all groups) Perth as issued by the Australian Bureau of Statistics under the authority of the Census and Statistics Act 1905 (Commonwealth) and the date from which any such variation is to be credited is to be determined by the chief executive officer.

The superintendent may direct that, because of the nature of the activities that a detainee is required to undertake, the gratuities credited to the detainee be increased, as the superintendent considers appropriate, for the period during which the detainee undertakes those activities.

Gratuities are not to be credited to a detainee who is detained for less than 3 days.

In this regulation, detainee means a detainee detained in a detention centre other than a special detention centre.
