CRIMES (SENTENCING PROCEDURE) ACT 1999 - SECT 50

50 Making of parole orders by court

(1) When a court imposes a sentence of imprisonment for a term of 3 years or less, being a sentence that has a non-parole period, the court must make an order directing the release of the offender on parole at the end of the non-parole period.

(2) A parole order may be made under this section even though at the time it is made it appears that the offender may not be eligible for release at the end of the non-parole period because of some other sentence to which the offender is subject.

(3) The failure of a court to comply with the requirements of this section with respect to a sentence does not invalidate the sentence.
