10KF Admissibility of certain safety‑related information
Safety information is not admissible:
in any court (whether or not exercising federal jurisdiction); or
in any proceedings before a person authorised to hear evidence (whether the person is authorised by a law of the Commonwealth, a State or a Territory, or by the consent of the parties).
For the definition of safety information, see subsection 10KE(3).
Subsection (1) does not apply to:
an admission by an adult that indicates that a child under 18 has been abused or is at risk of abuse; or
a disclosure by a child under 18 that indicates that the child has been abused or is at risk of abuse;
unless, in the opinion of the court, there is sufficient evidence of the admission or disclosure available to the court from other sources.
