107IAC: Court may order imposition of intensive monitoring condition

You could also call this:

"Court can order close monitoring for up to 12 months"

Illustration for Parole Act 2002

When you are given an extended supervision order, the court can also order that you be closely monitored. This means you have to be with someone who is approved to watch you for up to 24 hours a day. The court decides how long this monitoring will last, but it can't be more than 12 months.

If the court makes this order, the Parole Board has to make sure you are monitored closely. The court can only make this order once, even if you have more than one extended supervision order. You can still be monitored closely even if you had a similar condition before.

The court makes this decision when the chief executive applies under section 107IAB(1). The Parole Board must follow the court's order and make sure you are monitored as a special condition. The monitoring is done by someone approved by a person chosen by the chief executive.

Application for, and making of extended supervision orders

107IACCourt may order imposition of intensive monitoring condition

  1. When a sentencing court makes an extended supervision order in respect of an offender, the court may at the same time, on application by the chief executive made under section 107IAB(1), make an order requiring the Board to impose an intensive monitoring condition on the offender.

  2. An intensive monitoring condition is a condition requiring an offender to submit to being accompanied and monitored, for up to 24 hours a day, by an individual who has been approved, by a person authorised by the chief executive, to undertake person-to-person monitoring.

  3. The order must specify the maximum duration of the intensive monitoring condition, which must be no longer than 12 months.

  4. If the court makes an order under this section, the Board must impose an intensive monitoring condition on the offender as a special condition.

  5. The court may not make an order under this section in respect of an offender more than once, even if the offender is subject to repeated extended supervision orders.

  6. However, the court may make an order under this section in respect of an offender who was subject to an extended supervision order before the commencement of this section even if, under that order, the offender was at any time subject to a condition imposed by the Board under section 107K(2).
