Australian Human Rights Commission Submission to UN Committee Against Torture, 17 October 2014 89. The Australian Capital Territory Human Rights Commission advised that in a 2014 audit, the Australian Capital Territory Human Rights Commissioner noted that women were transferred between Remand Centres each weekend, due to overcrowding, to allow for the accommodation of men serving weekend detention sentences. 90. Inhumane and degrading treatment of women prisoners: The Australian Capital Territory Human Rights Commissioner continues to have some concerns with the routine strip searching of women leaving the Remand Centre on transitional release. 91. Access to health care: The 2014 report of the Victorian Ombudsman into deaths and harm in custody found that the inability of prisoners to access Medicare and the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme is a significant shortcoming in the current prisoner health model, with the potential to adversely affect the health of prisoners. The Victorian Ombudsman also noted that the issue of prisoner access to Medicare was raised in the 2006 Ombudsman’s report. 92. The Northern Territory Anti-Discrimination Commission has advised they are concerned about the impact of the Correctional Services Act 2014 (NT) ss 92 and 93. The scope of s 92 allows for the provision of healthcare without consent. However, the section does not provide for any safeguards, such as oversight. Also the use of ‘reasonable force’ in treating individuals similarly does not contain safeguards. Section 93 of the Act contains a similar provision in relation to providing medication to a prisoner without consent and provides for the use of reasonable force to achieve this. 22
