The chief executive must make sure you have the help you need to do your job well if you are on the Board. You need administrative and training support so you can work efficiently and effectively. This support includes things like helping with parole panels in different regions.

The support you get must also include things like organising the timetable for parole panels and who is on them. You will get support to help you do your job under certain parts of the law, like section 109(2). The chairperson will also get support to help them do their job under section 112.

You will get support if you are a panel convenor, to help you do your job under section 114(3). The chief executive must also make sure you have the right training when you start your job on the Board. This includes things like an induction and any other training you need to do your job well.
