Domestic violence offenders—requirement for full-time detention or supervision
4A Domestic violence offenders—requirement for full-time detention or supervision
If a court finds a person guilty of a domestic violence offence, the court must impose on the person either—
a sentence of full-time detention, or
a supervised order.
However, the court is not required to impose either of those sentencing options if the court is satisfied that a different sentencing option is more appropriate in the circumstances and gives reasons for reaching that view.
For the purposes of this section, a supervised order is an order (being an intensive correction order, community correction order or conditional release order) that is subject to a supervision condition.
