Interstate Transfer (Community-based Sentences) Act 2009

If a community-based sentence that is in force in this jurisdiction is registered under a corresponding law of another State or a Territory – the sentence becomes a community-based sentence in force in the State or Territory; and the sentence ceases to be a sentence in force in this State; and the offender may be dealt with in the State or Territory for a breach of the sentence, whether the breach happened before or after the sentence is registered in the State or Territory; and where the sentence was, immediately before being registered in the other State or the Territory, registered under Part 4, it ceases to be registered under Part 4; and proceedings against the offender may not be commenced under the law of this jurisdiction in relation to any breach of the conditions attached to the sentence that occurred before it was registered in the interstate jurisdiction.

This section does not affect any right to appeal or review against – a conviction imposed, or a finding of guilt made, in this State; or any sentence imposed in this State.

This section does not affect any sentence which – imposes a fine or other financial penalty (however described); or requires the making of reparation (however described) – and, to that extent, the sentence remains a sentence in force in the jurisdiction in which it was originally imposed and may be enforced accordingly.

Nothing in this Part is to be taken to prevent a sentence imposed in this State and registered in another State or a Territory subsequently being registered under Part 4.
