The Australasian Parole Authorities Conference 2012 is being held in Melbourne, Victoria from 31 October to 2 November 2012, hosted by the Adult Parole Board of Victoria and the Youth Parole and Youth Residential Boards of Victoria.
The theme for the conference is Parole into the Future,with a focus on the challenges that parole authorities are facing now and over the next few years. This year the list of presentations is very comprehensive and includes topics such as media management, business planning, professional development for decision-makers, and post-sentence supervision regimes.
At the conference, delegates will not only hear from experts on a wide range of issues, but there will also be the opportunity to visit a prison (Marngoneet), a youth justice centre (Parkville), a transitional facility (Judy Lazarus), and a new housing complex (Elizabeth Street Common Ground). The keynote address - "Setting the Scene - Where are we going to be in the next ten years?" - will be delivered by Professor Arie Freiberg, Dean of the Faculty of Law, Monash University and Chair of the Victorian Sentencing Advisory Council.
