Australian Capital Territory Current Acts

CRIMES (CHILD SEX OFFENDERS) ACT 2005 - SECT 39

This division does not apply to a registrable offender in relation to a year if the offender is outside the ACT for the last 7 days before the relevant time for the offender's report in that year.

Example

J first reported his personal details to the chief police officer on 14 October 2005. However, J is out of the ACT from 1 October 2006 to 1 November 2006. Because of this section, J does not have to report his details on or before 31 October 2006. However, J must report his intention to travel outside the ACT (see s 42) and, when J returns to the ACT for 7 days, he will have to report any change to his personal details (see s 55).
