Compliance and Monitoring Officers conduct unannounced home visits on extreme high risk, high risk and high profile offenders across the State of NSW. These officers manage offenders who, having served a custodial sentence, are on extended supervision orders in the community, as well as any offender who is deemed high risk and is problematic and non-compliant.

In addition, the officers on the Community Compliance Group are in charge of electronic monitoring related to home detention and stages of the Drug Court Program. They also conduct random checks on offenders who are on work release, day and weekend leave and/or education leave from correctional centres.

Compliance and Monitoring Officers are based at offices in Campbelltown, Blacktown , Newcastle, Wollongong, Dubbo, Goulburn, Grafton, Bathurst, Wagga Wagga, Tamworth and Broken Hill.
