CRIMES (CHILD SEX OFFENDERS) ACT 2005 (NO. 30 OF 2005) - SECT 71

Offence—person reporting in person for offender must provide identification

A person commits an offence if—

        (a)     an offender is required to make a report in person under a reporting offence provision; and

        (b)     the person makes the report, in person, for the offender; and

        (c)     the person does not take all reasonable steps to present for inspection the person's Australian driver licence (if any) or another form of identification, or other document, prescribed by regulation for this section.

Maximum penalty: 200 penalty units, imprisonment for 2 years or both.

Note 1     A person may make a report for an offender if the offender is a young person or has a disability that makes it impracticable for the offender to make a report in person (see s 65 and s 66).

Note 2     In deciding whether a person took all reasonable steps to do something, a court must have regard to the person's age, any disability and whether the notice given to the person about the person's obligations was adequate to tell the person about the relevant obligation (see s 116).
