Video: What is a Probation Order

15 August

A probation order is an order in which you are released on upon sentence in a magistrates court. It can be anywhere from 6 months to 2 years.

While on probation, you will be required to comply with a set of requirements such as:

Reporting to a probation office upon your release.
Not committing further offences.
Participating in any programs which your officer requires you to do.
Getting permission to leave the state.
Notifying the probation office if you change your address

If you don’t agree to a probation order, the magistrate will sentence you to another form of punishment such as a term of imprisonment.
