Working with Children Check Act 2000

The chief executive (corrective services) must give the chief executive written notice of each person who is or becomes subject to a sexual offender order.

The written notice must state the following—

the person’s name;

that the person is subject to a sexual offender order;

any other information the chief executive (corrective services) reasonably considers is necessary for the chief executive to perform a function or exercise a power under this chapter.

The chief executive (corrective services) and the chief executive may enter into a written arrangement by which written notices are given under subsection (1).

Without limiting subsection (3), the arrangement may provide for the written notices to be given electronically.

However, if written notices under subsection (1) are to be given electronically and, under an Act, there is a limitation on who may access the information mentioned in the notices or the purposes for which that information may be used, the arrangement must provide for the limitation.

The disclosure of information by the chief executive (corrective services) under this section is authorised despite any other Act or law, including a law imposing an obligation to maintain confidentiality about the information.

In this section—chief executive (corrective services) means the chief executive of the department in which the Corrective Services Act 2006 is administered.
