The NSW State Parole Authority met on Thursday morning to discuss the parole bid but has now delayed its decision until March 12.
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.
