If a reportable offender’s reporting period expires but the offender is then sentenced for a reportable offence, the offender must report the offender’s personal details to the Commissioner —
within 7 days after being sentenced for the reportable offence; or
if the offence results in the making of a reporting order that is not made at the time of sentencing for the offence – within 7 days after the order is made; or
if the offender is in government custody — within 7 days after ceasing to be in government custody,
whichever is the later.
If a reportable offender’s reporting period expires but the offender then becomes a corresponding reportable offender who must under section 49 continue to comply with the reporting obligations imposed by this Part for any period, the offender must report the offender’s personal details to the Commissioner —
within 7 days after becoming a corresponding reportable offender; or
if the offender is in government custody — within 7 days after ceasing to be in government custody,
whichever is the later.
If a reportable offender’s reporting obligations are suspended by an order made under section 53 (or an equivalent order in a foreign jurisdiction) and that order ceases to have effect under section 59 (or an equivalent provision of the laws of a foreign jurisdiction), the reportable offender must report the offender’s personal details to the Commissioner —
within 7 days after the order ceases to have effect; or
if the offender is in government custody — within 7 days after ceasing to be in government custody,
whichever is the later.
If a reportable offender’s reporting obligations are suspended by an approval granted under section 61 and that approval ceases to have effect under section 62, the reportable offender must report the offender’s personal details to the Commissioner —
within 7 days after the approval ceases to have effect; or
if the offender is in government custody — within 7 days after ceasing to be in government custody,
whichever is the later.
If a reportable offender is not in Western Australia at the time the offender would be required under subsection (1), (2), (3) or (4) to report the offender’s personal details to the Commissioner, then the offender must report the offender’s personal details within 14 days after entering Western Australia.
A person does not commit an offence against section 63 because of a failure to comply with the reporting obligation imposed by subsection (5) if the person does not remain in Western Australia for 14 or more consecutive days, not counting any days spent in government custody.
Despite subsections (1), (2), (3) and (4), a reportable offender must report the offender’s personal details to the Commissioner before leaving Western Australia unless the offender entered Western Australia from a foreign jurisdiction and remained in Western Australia for less than 14 consecutive days, not counting any days spent in government custody.
