Commonwealth Workplace Protection Orders Act 2025

If a court makes a Commonwealth workplace protection order, the order must, subject to subsection (2):

specify the name of the respondent; and

specify all of the conditions that are to be imposed, in accordance with section 25, on the respondent by the order; and

if a condition imposed on the respondent by the order would prevent the respondent from accessing or obtaining benefits or services provided by the Commonwealth—specify alternative procedures or arrangements for how the respondent may access or obtain those benefits or services; and

if a condition imposed on the respondent by the order would prevent the respondent from contacting their electoral representative or otherwise engaging in political communication—specify alternative procedures or arrangements for how the respondent may do those things; and

specify the period for which the order is in force; and

set out a summary of the grounds on which the order is made.

The order must not include information that identifies, or is likely to enable the identification of, a person other than the respondent unless:

the applicant for the order agrees to the information being included; or

the court is satisfied that the information is already known to the respondent; or

the court is satisfied that the inclusion of the information is necessary to enable compliance with the order.

If paragraph (2)(a) or (b) applies, the order may include the information only to the extent that the court considers necessary to enable compliance with the order.
