125 Protection for reporting domestic violence
(1) A person acting in good faith in making a report under section 124A is not civilly or criminally liable, or in breach of any professional code of conduct:
for making the report; or
for disclosing any information in the report.
In any proceeding before a court, except with the court's leave:
the report or evidence of its contents is not admissible; and
(b) a person cannot be compelled to give evidence, or to produce a record, about the report or the identity of the maker of the report.
The leave may be granted only if:
(a) the report, evidence or record is of critical importance to the proceeding; and
(b) failure to grant the leave would prejudice the proper administration of justice.
