Illustration for Corrections Act 2004

The law says that the Corrections department can share information about you with the police if you are released from prison temporarily. This is to help the police check that you are following the rules of your temporary release. The information they share can include the date you were released and the conditions of your release.

The chief executive of the Corrections department can give this information to any police constable. They can share information about you if you were released under section 62 of the law. This information includes when you were released and where you were released from.

The police and the Corrections department can agree on how they want to share this information. They can decide what form the information takes when it is shared.
