The broad processes operating in each jurisdiction are shown on the following pages. These process maps, prepared by New Zealand and by each Australian state and territory, vary in the level of detail provided.
The first process map provided by NSW situates home detention within other pathways to intensive supervision programs and shows the flow from sentence to home detention assessment including case planning prior to the making of the order.
The second two process maps prepared by Victoria show separate flows for frontend and back-end programs, including breach processes. The request for an HD order and assessment occur after a sentence of imprisonment is made for front-end detention.
The fourth process map provided by Queensland provides an overview of the application, assessment, completion, and breach processes.
The first of the next two process maps prepared by SA sets out the flow from application to release from prison to home detention in that jurisdiction and the second SA map sets out the process for community corrections action.
The seventh process map prepared by ACT sets out flows for both remanded and sentenced persons under the ACT’s front-end program.
The eighth process map provided by NT outlines the process flow from court to order termination.
The final three process maps prepared by New Zealand set out separately the application, breach and sentence management processes for that country’s backend and front-end home detention programs.
Subsequent sections describe key elements of these processes in greater detail and draw comparisons between jurisdictions on key features.
