Youth Justice Act 2024

If under an arrangement a young offender is transferred to Victoria from another State or a Territory, then from the time the young offender arrives in Victoria—

any sentence imposed on, or order made in relation to, the young offender by a court of the sending State or Territory and specified in the arrangement is taken to have been imposed or made by the court in Victoria specified in the arrangement; and

any sentence or order deemed by a previous arrangement with Victoria or with another State or a Territory to have been imposed or made by a court of the sending State or Territory and specified in the arrangement under which the young offender is transferred to Victoria is taken to have been imposed or made by the court in Victoria specified in the arrangement; and

any direction or order given or made by a court of the sending State or Territory concerning the time when anything to be done under an order made by a court of that State or Territory commences is, so far as practicable, taken to have been given or made by the court in Victoria specified in the arrangement.

Except as otherwise provided in this Schedule, a sentence, order or direction referred to in subclause (1)(a), (b) or (c) has effect in Victoria as specified in the arrangement in accordance with clause 6, and the laws of Victoria apply, as if that court—

had had power to impose the sentence and give or make the direction or order; and

did in fact impose the sentence and give or make the direction or order.
