Inspection process
The process to undertake an inspection includes:
- planning
- information gathering
- engaging with detainees
- conducting onsite visit to the place of detention
- analysing information and forming conclusions.
The inspection report is then prepared and provided to the Speaker for tabling in Parliament. The Inspector’s report on every inspection will be public once the report is tabled in Parliament.
Based on the experience of independent inspectors in other jurisdictions, the full inspection process can take at least 12 months from planning through to provision of the report.
Reports
Detention inspection reports that have been tabled are listed under Publications.
