the detention of the person to whom the age determination information relates; or

the investigation of a Commonwealth offence by that person; or

the institution of criminal proceedings against that person for a Commonwealth offence; or

for a purpose related to the conduct of:

the investigation of the person to whom the age determination information relates for a Commonwealth offence; or

proceedings for a Commonwealth offence against that person; or

for the purpose of an investigation by the Information Commissioner of the Commonwealth or the Commonwealth Ombudsman; or

if the person to whom the age determination information relates consents in writing to the disclosure.

A defendant bears an evidential burden in relation to the matters referred to in subsection (2)—see subsection 13.3(3) of the Criminal Code.
