Child Protection (International Measures) Act 2003

This section applies if the Department is given either of the following documents, together with a request for the Department to take an action under the Child Protection Convention:a document that is a foreign property protection measure relating to a child; a document that, although it is not a foreign property protection measure relating to a child, states details of a foreign property protection measure relating to a child.

The Department must consider whether the foreign property protection measure includes a provision directed to protecting the person of the child.

If the Department considers the foreign property protection measure includes a provision directed to protecting the person of the child, the Department must deal with the measure under section 23 as if it were a foreign personal protection measure.

If the Department does not consider the foreign property protection measure includes a provision directed to protecting the person of the child, the Department must give the measure to a registrar of a Tasmanian court for recognition of the measure by registration under section 25.
