19P Requirement to attend for training, treatment etc.
(1) This regulation applies if a non‑custodial offender is required to be at a place at a particular time to:
undertake a training program or undergo required treatment; or
(b) comply with a reporting or supervision requirement under the order.
The offender must be at the required place at the required time.
(3) However, if the offender is not at the place as required, the offender does not breach subregulation (2) if:
(a) the offender's failure to attend is approved by a probation and parole officer; or
(b) the offender's failure to attend is due to illness and the offender complies with subregulations (5) and (6).
(4) A probation and parole officer may grant approval under subregulation (3)(a) if satisfied that reasonable grounds exist for the offender not attending.
(5) If the offender is absent due to illness the offender must give a probation and parole officer a certificate, signed by a health practitioner, stating:
(a) that at the time of the failure to attend the offender was, in the practitioner's opinion, unfit to attend as required; and
the grounds for that opinion.
(6) The certificate must be given to the probation and parole officer not more than 72 hours (or any longer period allowed by the officer) after the offender's failure to attend at the place.
