Community Protection (Offender Reporting) Act 2005

This section applies to a reportable offender who intends to leave Tasmania for any period to travel elsewhere.

At least 7 days before leaving Tasmania or, if circumstances make 7 days before leaving Tasmania impracticable, no later than 24 hours before leaving Tasmania, the reportable offender must report the intended travel to the Registrar and must provide – details of each State, Territory or country to which he or she intends to go while out of Tasmania; and details of the approximate dates of the periods during which he or she intends to be in each of those States, Territories or countries; and details of each address or location within each State, Territory or country at which he or she intends to reside (to the extent that they are known) and the approximate dates of the periods during which he or she intends to reside at those addresses or locations; and if he or she intends to return to Tasmania, the approximate date on which he or she intends to return; and if he or she does not intend to return to Tasmania, a statement of that intention; and all valid passports for inspection.

A reportable offender must present all valid passports to the Registrar or an authorised person for inspection within 7 days after returning to Tasmania.

A reportable offender, whether in Tasmania or elsewhere, who decides to make a change to anything presented to the Registrar or an authorised person under subsection (2A) must, as soon as practicable, notify the Registrar of the change.

For the purposes of subsection (3), the reportable offender must make the notification – by facsimile or email sent to the Registrar; or in any other manner permitted by the Registrar.
