(1) The referring entity must give a referral to the director-general (restorative justice).
Note Section 72 deals with what happens if the referring entity is the same director-general as the director-general (restorative justice), but the referral is made by the director-general as director-general (corrections) or director-general (children and young people).
That section provides that the director-general must ensure that appropriate administrative arrangements are made for the referral to be given by a delegate of the director-general as director-general (corrections) or director-general (children and young people) to a delegate of the director-general as director-general (restorative justice).
(2) The referral—
(a) must be in writing, stating the grounds for referral; and
(b) if the referring entity is a court—may be in the form of a court referral order or sentence-related order, or as a condition of a bail order.
Note If a form is approved under s 73 for this provision, the form must be used.
(3) This section does not apply if the referring entity is the director-general (restorative justice).
Note The referring entity may be the director-general (restorative justice) under table 22, item 1 or 5.
