Which prisoners are considered for a PSSO?

The Board is required to consider every prisoner who is serving a fixed term of imprisonment having committed a ‘serious offence’. A ‘serious offence’ is defined as being;

  1. an offence specified in Schedule 1 of the High Risk Serious Offenders Act 2020, or;
  2. an offence declared by a Court, under section 97A(3) of the Sentencing Act 1995 (WA), to be a violent offence.

An offence declared under section 97A(3) of the Sentencing Act 1995 (WA) to be a serious offence applies if the sentencing Court has declared the offence to be a serious offence.
