(1) A
forensic procedure must be carried out humanely and with care—

avoid, as far as reasonably practicable, offending genuinely held cultural
values or religious beliefs; and
(b) to
avoid inflicting unnecessary physical harm, humiliation or embarrassment.
(2) A
forensic procedure must not be carried out in the presence or view of more
persons than are necessary for properly carrying out the procedure and
satisfying any relevant statutory requirements.
(3) If reasonably
practicable, a forensic procedure that involves exposure of, or contact with,
the genital or anal area, the buttocks or the breast region of a female person
or a transgender or intersex person who identifies as female, must not be
carried out by a person of a different sex (other than at the request of the
person on whom the forensic procedure is to be carried out).
