Premier Anna Bligh says $2.2 million will be set aside in next week's state budget to introduce the technology, which will monitor the whereabouts of former prisoners under supervision orders.
She said 70 offenders now living in the community would begin to be fitted with the devices by the end of the year.
A further 16 up for possible release from jails over the next 12 months could also qualify.
All qualifying offenders will have devices by the first half of 2012.
"These people are the worst of the worst. These are the people that our courts determine cannot be released back into the community without strict supervision," she told reporters.
The offenders are already subject to supervision and a radio-based monitoring system that alerts authorities if they break curfews, but Ms Bligh said the government wanted to keep pace with technology.
She said the move was not a reaction to a public campaign for the technology, saying she had wanted to bring the program in last year but the state couldn't afford it then.
