### sec.320 Eligible persons register
The chief executive must keep a register of eligible persons who may receive notices or information about prisoners or homicide offenders under this Act.
Subject to section 324AA —
notice of an application by a prisoner for a parole order must be given to an eligible person under section 188 ; and
information about a prisoner (including a prisoner who is a homicide offender) must be given to an eligible person under section 324A ; and
information about a prisoner or homicide offender may be given to an eligible person under section 325 .
To make an entry in the eligible persons register, the chief executive must be satisfied—
the prisoner or homicide offender is a prisoner or homicide offender for whom an entry can be made; and
the person proposed to be registered against the prisoner or homicide offender is—
entitled to be registered; and
requests or consents to the registration.
Despite being satisfied of the matters stated in subsection (2) , the chief executive may refuse to register a person against a prisoner or homicide offender if the chief executive reasonably believes that giving the person a notice or information as an eligible person may endanger—
the security of a corrective services facility; or
the safe custody or welfare of a prisoner; or
the safety or welfare of someone else.
The chief executive may make an entry in the eligible persons register against a prisoner or homicide offender—
on application in the approved form by a person claiming to be an eligible person; or
on a referral in the approved form by an entity supporting an eligible person; or
on the chief executive’s own initiative.
