Illustration for Corrections Act 2004

The Governor-General can make rules to help manage prisons and community work centres. You need to know that these rules can be about the powers and functions of staff members, probation officers, and security officers. The rules can also be about keeping prisoners safe and helping them when they leave prison.

The Governor-General can make rules about the management and care of prisoners and other people under supervision. You can find more information about how these rules are published in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019. The rules can apply to all prisons, community work centres, or just some of them.

The Governor-General can also make rules about fees for Visiting Justices, who are appointed under section 19(2). The rules can be about anything else that is needed to make the Corrections Act work properly.
