Tasmania Community Corrections supervises offenders on probation orders, parole orders; and community service orders (CSOs). We are also responsible for preparing pre-parole reports (PPRs) for the Parole Board and pre-sentence reports (PSRs) and community service order (CSO) suitability reports for the courts.
In 2008 Community Corrections commissioned independent consultants, KPMG to conduct a full review of our structure and operations. The aim of this review was to ensure that our structure allows us to respond to current demands and provides the flexibility to adapt to future demands.
The review included consideration of the Community Service Order scheme, including the types of projects available to offenders, the procedures for administering the scheme, and resourcing of the scheme.
KPMG delivered its findings in December 2008, and we are currently in the process of implementing these.
