The Adult Parole Board of Victoria (the Board) is an independent statutory body established under the Corrections Act 1986, with jurisdiction over the appropriate release of prisoners on parole. The Board is mandated to make decisions, under a statutory framework, about the reintegration of eligible prisoners into the community. The Board's paramount consideration is the safety and protection of the community.
The Board's functions include making decisions about whether to grant, deny, defer, vary or cancel a prisoner's parole. As a statutory entity, the Board has no inherent power and can only perform functions under delegated authority of legislation.
Members are Governor in Council appointments, on terms and conditions consistent with the Department of Justice and Community Safety, and for an initial term of three years.
Divisional Chairpersons should be available to preside over at least one Board hearing each month but greater availability is preferable.
The Board is located at 50 Franklin Street Melbourne.
