### sec.201 Reference to child protection order includes certain orders of other States
This chapter uses the term ‘child protection order’ to refer not only to orders made under this Act, but also to certain orders made under the laws of other States.
Specifically, an order made under a child welfare law, or interstate law, of a participating State is a child protection order for this chapter if—
the order provides—
for the guardianship, custody or supervision of a child; or
for contact with a child; or
that a parent of the child must do or refrain from doing something directly related to the child’s protection; and
the order is made in favour of, or gives responsibility to, any of the following entities of the participating State—
a government department or statutory authority;
a person who is head of, is employed in, or otherwise holds an office or other position in, a government department or statutory authority;
an organisation or the chief executive of an organisation, whether or not the person’s position is given the name of chief executive;
a Minister; and
the order is not made on an interim basis or for the purpose of assessing a child’s protective needs.
A reference in this chapter to a child protection order, if the order is made under a law of another State—
is a reference to the order in the form in which it is transferred, or proposed to be transferred, to Queensland; and
includes a reference to a document, prepared under the law of the other State, stating the conditions applying to the order on its transfer to Queensland.
