Review hearings

The State Parole Authority publishes weekly court lists for public review hearings which are held every Tuesday and Thursday.

Published at the start of every week, it is a list of offenders who are scheduled to appear before the Parole Authority

Court hearings are open to the public with inmates appearing via Audio Visual Link (AVL) from correctional centres.

These hearings are held in Court 1A on Level 1 of the Sydney West Trial Courts building, located at 6 George Street, Parramatta.

Why hold public review hearings?

These hearings are held to review preliminary decisions for inmates where parole has been refused or for offenders whose parole has been revoked.

All Serious Offenders appear before a review hearing before a final decision on parole is made.

Review hearings provide an opportunity for the Parole Authority to hear any submissions made by Registered Victims or the State of NSW.

Inmates of Special Interest to the Commissioner CSNSW may also appear at a public review hearing.
