Victims of Crime Assistance Act 2009

The scheme manager may, for the purpose of the State recovering an amount from a person under this part, ask the SPER registrar for information mentioned in subsection (2) in relation to a stated act of violence.

For subsection (1), the information is—

information about an unpaid amount—

ordered by a court to be paid to a person, under the Penalties and Sentences Act 1992, by way of restitution or compensation for the act of violence; and

particulars of which are registered under the State Penalties Enforcement Act 1999, section 34; and

the address of the offender for an unpaid amount mentioned in paragraph (a).

The SPER registrar must comply with the request if the registrar is reasonably satisfied the information will help the State recover an amount under this part.

The giving of information by the SPER registrar under subsection (3) is authorised despite any other Act or law, including a law imposing an obligation to maintain confidentiality about the information.

Note—

See section 140 for restrictions on disclosing or giving access to information or documents obtained under this Act.
