A number of elements of the jurisdiction of the Inspector of Custodial Services are currently under consideration in light of the findings of the Coronial Inquiry into the Death of Mr Ward, and also as a result of Australia becoming a signatory to the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment.
The question of the extent of the Inspector's jurisdiction will be addressed as part of this process. The specific model or plan to be adopted is subject to cabinet processes.
