Applying for Parole

The Parole Board Secretary will send an Application for Parole to the prisoner at least 6 months before their parole eligibility date.

The prisoner's delegated Case Coordinator, within the Tasmania Prison Service, can assist with the completion of the application form. The completed form is returned to the Parole Board Secretary.

The Parole Board will request Community Corrections to complete a Pre-Parole Report. A Pre-Parole Report assists the Parole Board in determining whether a prisoner should be released on parole and under what conditions.

Upon completion of a Pre-Parole Report, the Parole Board Secretary will list a date for the prisoner to appear for hearing.

The Parole Board may refuse to release a prisoner on parole. The Board may not further consider the release of the prisoner on parole until the expiration of 3 months from the date of the last refusal.
