Public Guardian Act 2014

A child advocacy officer may enter—

a visitable site—

during normal visiting hours without notice; or

with the public guardian’s authorisation, outside normal hours without notice; or

another place where a relevant child is staying if—

a person in charge of the place consents to the entry; or

it is a public place and the entry is made when it is open to the public; or

the entry is authorised by a warrant.

For the purpose of asking a person who is in charge of a place for consent to enter under subsection (1)(b)(i), an officer may, without the person’s consent or a warrant—

enter land around the place to an extent that is reasonable to contact the person; or

enter part of the place the officer reasonably considers members of the public ordinarily are allowed to enter when they wish to contact the person.
