Submission to the Inspector of Detention Services Bill 2021

QNADA welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback on the Inspector of Detention Services Bill 2021. We commend the intent of the Bill and recognise the important role that the Inspector of Detention Services will have in ensuring accountability and oversight of detention in Queensland with a view to promoting and upholding the humane treatment and conditions of the people detained.

QNADA members provide a diverse range of alcohol and other drug treatment and harm reduction services to people with alcohol and other drug issues in detention facilities. Our feedback is primarily related to the provisions around the interactions between the Inspector of Detention Services and alcohol and other drug treatment and harm reduction services delivered in detention facilities, as well as those delivered to people exiting detention facilities or engaged with community corrections.
