accordance with a parole order, see section 19AM.
Note 2: A person released on parole must comply with any conditions of the parole order during the parole period (see sections 19AMA, 19AN and 19AU).
 (3A) If the Attorney‑General considers that in all the circumstances it is appropriate to do so, the Attorney‑General may specify in a parole order that a person is to be released from prison on a day that is before the end of the non‑parole period, but is not earlier than 30 days before the end of the non‑parole period.

Person subject to State or Territory sentence
 (4) Subsections (5) to (7) apply if the person is subject to a State or Territory sentence.
 (5) The Attorney‑General is not required to make, or to refuse to make, a parole order under subsection (1) or (1A), paragraph (2)(b) or subsection (2A) if:
 (a) the State or Territory sentence is a life sentence for which a non‑parole period has not been fixed; or
 (b) the State or Territory sentence ends after the end of the last of the federal sentences to end; or
 (c) the non‑parole period for the State or Territory sentence ends after the end of the federal non‑parole period; or
 (d) the State or Territory sentence ends after the end of the federal non‑parole period.
 (6) However, the Attorney‑General must either make, or refuse to make, a parole order before:
 (a) if paragraph (5)(c) applies (and paragraphs (5)(a) and (b) do not)—the end of the non‑parole period for the State or Territory sentence; or
 (b) if paragraph (5)(d) applies (and paragraphs (5)(a), (b) and (c) do not)—the person's expected release from prison for the State or Territory offence.
 (7) If the Attorney‑General does not, in accordance with subsection (6), make, or refuse to make, a parole order for a person before:
 (a) the end of the period referred to in paragraph (6)(a); or
 (b) the date of the expected release referred to in paragraph (6)(b);
the Attorney‑General must, as soon as practicable after the end of that period or the date of that expected release, make, or refuse to make, a parole order for the person.
Note: The effect of subsections (4) to (7) and subsection 19AM(2) is that a parole order may sometimes still be made for a person while the person is serving a State or Territory sentence, but the person will not be released in accordance with the parole order until the person is released from prison for the State or Territory sentence.
