Welcome message from the Chairperson
The Chairperson of the Adult Parole Board, His Honour Peter Couzens, welcomes you to the website in this video.
Mock parole hearing
A video of a mock parole hearing with members of the Board is available. 'Parole, you decide' runs during the annual Law Week festival.
The purpose of parole
Parole provides prisoners with a structured, supported and supervised transition so that they can adjust from prison back into the community, rather than returning straight to the community at the end of their sentence without supervision or support. By supporting prisoners to return to the community under supervision toward the end of their sentence, parole’s main purpose is to increase community safety.
