Hughes was jailed for at least six years in 2014 after a jury found the Australian actor guilty of 10 charges relating to sexual and indecent acts perpetrated on four young girls in the 1980s and 1990s.
A 2017 High Court challenge against his conviction was dismissed.
His non-parole period expires on April 6.
Judge Peter Zahra at the time of Hughes' conviction described the actor as a sexual predator who systematically exploited young girls and relied on his position to ensure the compliance and silence of his victims.
