Power to ask for information—relevant entities
16O Power to ask for information—relevant entities
The DFVR coordinator may, in writing, ask a relevant entity to give the coordinator information held by the entity that the coordinator considers reasonably necessary to—
determine whether an incident is a domestic or family violence incident; or
otherwise exercise the coordinator’s functions.
However, the DFVR coordinator must not ask for information in relation to a domestic or family violence incident resulting in serious harm to a person without the consent of the harmed person.
The relevant entity must comply with the request within a reasonable time, being not more than 15 working days after receiving the request.
However, the relevant entity need not comply with the request if the entity gives the DFVR coordinator a reasonable excuse for not complying.
In this section:
relevant entity means each of the following:
the chief police officer;
a director-general of an administrative unit;
a community-based service;
an entity prescribed by regulation.
