The forms are also referred to as 'Court disposition forms'. The records are in the format of volumes of carbon duplicates of Department for Family and Community Services pre-printed forms. The forms acted as a receipt for the movement of an inmate from the Centre to Court, and indicated whether the individual was to be returned to the Centre or released (providing no further detention order was made by the Court). They were filled in by the Supervisor of the Centre, and were forwarded to the Officer in charge of the detention facility of the Juvenile/Children's Court. Information recorded includes: name, date, name of Court, name of Centre, list of property held in safekeeping while in Court and signed acknowledgement of return of property.
