Community Protection (Offender Reporting) Act 2004

This section applies to a reportable offender who intends to leave Western Australia, whether to travel elsewhere in Australia or to travel out of Australia.

At least 7 days before leaving Western Australia, the reportable offender must report the intended travel to the Commissioner and must provide details of —

each State, Territory or country to which the offender intends to go while out of Western Australia; and

the approximate dates of the periods during which the offender intends to be in each of those States, Territories or countries; and

each address or location within each State, Territory or country at which the offender intends to reside (to the extent that they are known) and the approximate dates of the periods during which the offender intends to reside at those addresses or locations; and

if the offender intends to return to Western Australia, the approximate date on which the offender intends to return; and

if the offender does not intend to return to Western Australia, a statement of that intention.

If circumstances arise making it impracticable for a reportable offender to make the report at least 7 days before the offender leaves, it is sufficient compliance with subsection (2) if the reportable offender reports the required information to the Commissioner no later than 24 hours after leaving Western Australia.

A reportable offender who reports under subsection (3) after leaving Western Australia must make the report —

by facsimile or email sent to the Commissioner or to any other address permitted by the regulations; or

in any other manner permitted by the regulations.
