As an independent decision-making body, the Board receives information from a range of people, service providers and organisations. The Board scrutinizes this information in order to maintain public confidence through the transparency of the parole decision-making process.

The Secretariat is a business unit established under the Community Corrections and Specialist Operations division of QCS. The Secretariat supports the Board through the provision of administrative and legal support in accordance with QCS’ statutory obligations relating to the operations of the Board.
