Witness Protection Act 1996

Territory identity documents must not be issued for a person who is on a witness protection program being conducted by the Commonwealth, a State or another Territory unless—

an arrangement is in force between the Minister and the relevant Commonwealth, State or other Territory Minister relating to the issue of territory identity documents for the purposes of that program; and

a complementary witness protection law is in force in the Commonwealth, State or another Territory.

Without limiting the matters to which such an arrangement may relate, an arrangement may relate to—

the procedures to be adopted for requesting the issue of territory identity documents for the purposes of the program; and

guidelines for the issue of those documents and other documents.
