153 Board inquiry—management of parole
(1) The board may, at any time, conduct an inquiry to review an

of after it made the offender’s parole order; or
(b) any change in circumstances applying to the offender; or
(c) the history of managing the offender under parole, including any
history relating to physical or mental health or discipline.
(3) To remove any doubt, the board may conduct the inquiry—

(b) in conjunction with any other inquiry under this Act in relation
to the offender.
(4) The board may conduct the inquiry—
(b) on application by the offender or the director-general.
