Crimes (Sentencing) Act 2005

As soon as practicable after the court makes the good behaviour order, the court must ensure that written notice of the order, together with a copy of the order, is given to—

the offender; and

if the order includes a community service condition, probation condition or rehabilitation program condition—the director‑general.

If the order is part of a combination sentence, a single notice may be given for the sentences (see Legislation Act, s 49).

For a young offender who is under 18 years old, the notice and order must also be given to a parent or person with parental responsibility (see s 133J).

The notice must include the following information:

the term of the good behaviour order;

if the good behaviour order includes a community service condition—

the number of hours of community service work the offender is to perform; and

the period during which the work is to be completed; and

where the offender must present himself or herself for the administration of the condition to start; and

when, or the period within which, the offender must present;

if the good behaviour order includes a probation condition—

the probation supervisor for the offender; and

where the offender must present himself or herself for the administration of the condition to start; and

when, or the period within which, the offender must present;

if the good behaviour order includes a rehabilitation program condition—

the rehabilitation program the offender is to take part in; and

the period for which the offender is to take part in the program; and

where the offender must present himself or herself for the administration of the condition to start; and

when or the period within which the offender must present;

any other conditions included in the good behaviour order.

Failure to comply with this section does not invalidate the good behaviour order.

In this section:

for an order made for a young offender—the CYP director‑general; and

for any other order—the director‑general responsible for this Act.
