Question Papers 1-3 were released in September 2013, seeking stakeholders’ views on the design and objectives of the parole system, the membership of the State Parole Authority and Serious Offenders Review Council, and the way discretionary parole decision making is done.

The NSWLRC has now released Question Papers 4 and 5 to obtain stakeholders' views on specific apsects of parole. The closing date for submissions on Question Papers 4 and 5 is Friday, 20 December 2013.

Question Paper 4 discusses the way case management in custody prepares offenders for parole and looks at the management of parolees in the community.

Question Paper 5 examines the State Parole Authority’s powers in relation to breach and revocation of parole, home detention and intensive correction orders.

All five Question Papers, as well as information about how to make a submission are available on the NSWLRC website.
