‘The Community Protection Board (the Board) oversees the management of persons released under the NZYQ High Court decision. The Board is led by the Australian Border Force Commissioner, and includes members from the Australian Border Force, the Department of Home Affairs, and personnel with law enforcement expertise.
The Board provides informed, impartial, and evidence-based recommendations to the Minister for Immigration or the Delegate concerning the necessity (or otherwise) of visa conditions which may be required to be imposed on a person subject to a bridging visa (BVR) grant. Community safety is the Board’s highest priority.’
