Queensland's Supreme Court on October 19 ordered Fardon be released on a strict 38-point supervision order after his arrest in July for breaching a previous order.
Corrective Services Minister Judy Spence told state parliament Fardon had been released to an undisclosed location on Tuesday morning.
The 59-year-old man has spent most of his adult life in prison for violent sexual assaults committed in 1978 and 1988, and remained in custody on a court order after completing his sentence in 2003.
He was released in December last year on a 32-point supervision order which he has breached three times this year.
He was arrested in July after leaving his Brisbane residence and travelling north to Mackay and Townsville, reportedly fearing attack from vigilantes.
Under the terms of his release, Fardon is banned from contacting children under the age of 16 without consent from Corrective Services.
Fardon has also consented to being fitted with an electronic monitoring device.
Ms Spence said she would not be releasing details of Fardon's whereabouts.
"I'm sure many people will want to expose Mr Fardon's whereabouts," Ms Spence told parliament.
"But I want to keep in mind the man has to live somewhere, and we have the toughest system in the country for monitoring these type of offenders.
"Mr Fardon will be under intense scrutiny to ensure the community is safe."
