The chief executive may give a direction restricting access to information recorded in the register of dangerous drugs for training to persons other than—

a drug control officer who reasonably needs the information for the performance of the officer’s function under this part; or

a corrective services officer who reasonably needs the information for conducting or supervising, under this part, an audit of a drug vault; or

another corrective services officer, if the corrective services officer is performing a function associated with the keeping of dangerous drugs in the possession of the department under this Act, whether or not under this part, and reasonably needs the information for the performance of the officer’s function; or

a police officer who reasonably needs the information for the performance of the officer’s functions under an Act; or

a person stated in the direction.

A direction under subsection (1) may restrict access to all information recorded in the register or only to information of a type stated in the direction.

The chief executive must keep a written record of the reasons for giving a direction under subsection (1) in each particular case.

The chief executive may give a direction under subsection (1), and keep the direction in place, only if the chief executive considers that a failure to give the direction, or to keep the direction in place, may prejudice—

the security of a drug vault; or

the safety of—

a corrective services officer; or

another person associated with keeping dangerous drugs in the possession of the department for training purposes; or

a person associated with a person mentioned in subparagraph (i) or (ii).
