In Southern Tasmania, a 57-year-old man was charged with rape and breaching parole conditions on Monday.

He has been returned to custody and will face the rape allegation in the Hobart Magistrates Court in August.

In a separate case, another Southern Tasmanian man, 62, faces two counts of rape dating back to 1996.

He has also been charged with failing to disclose reportable contact with a child, which is required under offender monitoring laws.

The 62-year-old was remanded in custody and is scheduled to appear in the Hobart Magistrates Court on Monday.

In Northern Tasmania, compliance team detectives charged two additional reportable offenders with four counts of breaching their reporting obligations.
