CHILDREN (DETENTION CENTRES) ACT 1987 - SECT 29
Application of Crimes (Administration of Sentences) Act 1999 to detainees
29 Application of Crimes (Administration of Sentences) Act 1999 to detainees
(1) The provisions of Parts 6 and 7 of the Crimes
(Administration of Sentences) Act 1999 apply to a detainee within the meaning
of this Act in the same way as they apply to an offender referred to in those
provisions, and so apply as if in those provisions: (a) a reference to a
correctional centre were a reference to a detention centre, and
(b) a
reference to the Parole Authority or a member of the Parole Authority were a
reference to the Children’s Court or a Children’s Magistrate,
respectively, and
(c) a reference to the Secretary of the Parole Authority
were a reference to a Registrar of the Children’s Court, and
(d) a
reference to the Commissioner were a reference to the Director-General.
(2)
If a detainee who is being detained as a result of the revocation or
suspension of a parole order by the Children’s Court is transferred to a
correctional centre, this section (subsection (1) (a) excluded) continues to
apply in relation to the parole order as if the transferred detainee were
still a detainee. Accordingly, the Children’s Court is to continue to
exercise the functions of the Parole Authority under Division 4 of Part 7 of
the Crimes (Administration of Sentences) Act 1999 with respect to the
detainee’s parole order.
