All 13 reports were provided to detention facilities
within eight weeks of the inspection for their
comment. However, of the 13 reports, six were not
finalised and published within three months due
to an extended comment process. A protocol with
the Department of Corrections is currently being
developed, which should streamline the publication
process for our OPCAT reports.

Eleven recommendations were accepted by the
Department of Corrections, but the accompanying
commentary suggests they should be read as
rejected. For reporting purposes these have been
recorded as not accepted.
