1—Review of services included on intervention programs

(1) Either House of Parliament may, not before the first anniversary of the commencement of this Act, require the Ombudsman to carry out an investigation concerning the value and effectiveness of all services included on intervention programs (within the meaning of the Bail Act 1985 and the Criminal Law (Sentencing) Act 1988) in the 12 month period following that commencement (or another period specified by the House).

(2) For the purposes of the investigation, the Ombudsman may exercise the same investigative powers as are conferred on the Ombudsman by the Ombudsman Act 1972 in relation to an investigation duly initiated under that Act.

(3) The Ombudsman must, after completing the investigation, submit a report on the outcome of the investigation to—

(a) if the investigation was required by the Legislative Council—the President of the Legislative Council; or

(b) if the investigation was required by the House of Assembly—the Speaker of the House of Assembly.

(4) If the Ombudsman is required to carry out an investigation in accordance with this clause, the Attorney-General must ensure that the Ombudsman is provided with the resources the Ombudsman reasonably requires for the purposes of carrying out the investigation.
