FACT SHEET INTERSTATE TRANSFER (COMMUNITY BASED SENTECES) BILL 2009 · This Bill will put in place legislation based on that developed by the Corrective Services Administrator's Council to facilitate the movement of offenders subject to community based sentences between jurisdictions. · Offenders subject to community service orders are those at the low to medium end of the offending spectrum. · Offenders may wish to move for a variety of reason, including family and work commitments. · These moves are beneficial in the rehabilitation of the offender and to their subsequent reintegration into the community. · Applicants for transfer from and transfer to the State will be assessed for suitability. This will ensure that the best interests of both the offender and the community are considered. · This Bill will allow Tasmania to participate in the national transfer scheme.
