Arrangement for transfer out of Victoria
4 Arrangement for transfer out of Victoria
The Secretary must not make an arrangement for the transfer of a young offender from Victoria to another State or a Territory unless—
the young offender or a parent of the young offender applies for the transfer to be made; and
the Secretary is of the opinion that the transfer is appropriate in all the circumstances including—
the place or intended place of residence of the parents of the young offender; and
the education, further education, training or employment of the young offender; and
the medical or other needs of the young offender; and
the young offender has been given independent legal advice as to the effect of the arrangement and consents to it; and
the Secretary is satisfied that there is no appeal pending against an order of a court to which the young offender is subject.
For the purposes of deciding whether or not to arrange for the transfer of a young offender from Victoria to another State or a Territory, the Secretary may ask—
the young offender; or
the parents of the young offender—
for any necessary information, and the young offender or parents must supply the information within the time specified by the Secretary.
