The range of supervision orders for juvenile offenders is determined by the Young Offenders Act 1994 and includes:
- Youth community-based orders;
- Intensive youth supervision orders with conditions ranging from attendance at a program to intensive supervision;
- Intensive youth supervision orders with detention as a default, also called conditional release orders; and
- Supervised release orders, which involve the management of juvenile offenders after their release from detention.
Community Justice Services staff provide advice to the courts to assist the judiciary with sentencing decisions.
A pre-sentence report is an objective assessment based on interviews with the offender and other interested parties, which may include family members, police, employers or treatment agencies if there are medical, psychiatric, psychological, addictive or other problems. If the offender is seen as suitable for a community-based supervision order, the report will outline the issues which need to be given attention under a case management plan.
