Certificate evidence—notification
30 Certificate evidence—notification
A certificate in writing purporting to be signed by an authorised officer of another jurisdiction and certifying any of the following matters is admissible in evidence in any proceeding and, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, is proof of the matters certified—
that the making of a DVO in that jurisdiction has been properly notified under the law of that jurisdiction;
that a variation to a DVO that was done in that jurisdiction has been properly notified under the law of that jurisdiction.
In any document, the words "authorised officer" after a signature are evidence that the person whose signature it purports to be is in fact an authorised officer.
In this section—
authorised officer of another jurisdiction means a person (whether or not designated as an authorised officer) who is authorised under the law of another jurisdiction to issue a certificate certifying that the making or variation of a DVO has been properly notified under the law of that jurisdiction.
