27 Persons required to report under corresponding Act
This section applies to a person (other than a person to whom Division 10 applies) who has been required to report to a corresponding registrar, whether or not the person is a reportable offender for the purposes of this Act.
Unless the person has previously complied with the obligation imposed by this section, the person must, within 7 days after entering Western Australia, contact (by telephone or another means prescribed) an authorised person nominated by the Commissioner for the purposes of this section.
The contacted authorised person must advise the person whether the person is a reportable offender for the purposes of this Act and any reporting obligations that the person has under this Act.
A person does not commit an offence against section 63 because of a failure to comply with the reporting obligation imposed by subsection (2) if the person —
is not a reportable offender for the purposes of this Act; or
has not been notified of that reporting obligation; or
does not remain in Western Australia for 14 or more consecutive days, not counting any days spent in government custody; or
reports in accordance with section 24.
