13AE: Variation or rescission of confidentiality order

You could also call this:

"Changing or cancelling a secrecy order"

Illustration for Parole Act 2002

The chairperson or a panel convenor can change or cancel a confidentiality order. You can ask for this if you are the person who applied for the order, or if you have taken over their job. They will only do this if they think it is necessary because something has changed.

The chairperson or panel convenor must be satisfied that the change is needed, or that the order is no longer needed. This is according to the Parole Act 2002, which was amended by the Parole Amendment Act 2007. They make this decision to vary or rescind the order if circumstances have changed.
