16 Applications for transfer from Australia

A prisoner serving a sentence of imprisonment in Australia, or the prisoner’s representative, may apply to the Attorney‑General, using a form approved in writing by the Attorney‑General, for transfer of the prisoner to a transfer country to complete serving the sentence on terms agreed in accordance with this Act.

Note: The Attorney‑General need not take any steps to decide the application if certain requirements are not met, or if it is less than 12 months since an earlier application for the prisoner was not proceeded with (see section 10A).
