54F: Standard conditions of intensive supervision

You could also call this:

"Rules to follow when you're on intensive supervision"

Illustration for Sentencing Act 2002

If you are sentenced to intensive supervision, you must follow some standard conditions. You must report to a probation officer in the area where you live as soon as possible, and no later than 72 hours after your sentence starts, unless your start date has been deferred under section 20A(2)(b). You must report to a probation officer at least once a week for the first three months, and at least once a month after that.

You must also tell a probation officer where you live and what job you have when they ask you. You cannot move to a new address in a different area without a probation officer's permission. If you do move, you must report to a probation officer in your new area within 72 hours.

You must give a probation officer notice before moving to a new address in the same area, and tell them your new address. You cannot live at an address that a probation officer has told you not to live at. You also cannot leave New Zealand without a probation officer's permission.

A probation officer may direct you to give biometric information, such as fingerprints. You must not do a job that a probation officer has told you not to do. You must not hang out with people that a probation officer has told you not to hang out with. You may be required to take part in an assessment to help you rehabilitate and reintegrate into society.

Some of these conditions may not apply if they conflict with special conditions set by the court, or with conditions of another sentence you are serving, such as community detention.
