Lawrence has spent 13 years in Indonesian prisons after being arrested attempting to bring 2.7 kilograms of heroin to Australia from the tourist hotspot.

She will be released on November 21 — but her father Bob Lawrence is worried about the public attention freedom will bring.

"[She's] a nervous wreck," he told the ABC.

"She just wants to come home and live her life in peace."

Mr Lawrence said he was concerned his family could be the subject of intense media scrutiny, similar to when Schapelle Corby — another convicted drug smuggler — was released in May 2017.

Her return to Australia sparked a media frenzy.

Mr Lawrence said his daughter had already paid "a very heavy price for her crime".

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said it continued to provide consular assistance to Lawrence.

The 41-year-old was arrested at Denpasar airport in 2005. The heroin was concealed on her body.

Lawrence was initially held at Bali's Kerobokan prison, but was later moved to two different jails.

She will be the first member of the Bali Nine to be released.

Bali Nine ringleaders Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran were executed in 2015 and another member Tan Duc Thanh Nguyen died of cancer earlier this year.

The other five remain in prison serving life sentences.
