Crimes (Forensic Procedures) Act 2000

An authorised applicant (but no other person) may apply to a Judge for an order under section 24 authorising him or her to arrange the carrying out of a forensic procedure on a suspect.

An application for an order must—

be made in writing, and

be supported by evidence on oath, or by affidavit, in relation to the matters as to which the Judge must be satisfied, as referred to in section 24 (1), and

specify the type of forensic procedure sought to be carried out.

(Repealed)

If a Judge refuses an application for an order authorising the carrying out of a forensic procedure on a suspect, the authorised applicant (or any other person aware of the application) may not make a further application to carry out the same forensic procedure on the suspect unless he or she provides additional information that justifies the making of the further application.
