A reportable offender must be given the notice as soon as practicable after any of the following events happen— the offender is— sentenced for a reportable offence; or made subject to an offender reporting order or offender prohibition order; the offender is released from government detention (whether in government detention for a reportable offence or otherwise); the offender enters Queensland, if the offender has not previously been given notice of the offender’s reporting obligations in Queensland; the offender becomes a corresponding reportable offender, if the person is in Queensland at that time. The notice must be given by the entity specified in, or determined under, a regulation. However, an entity is not required to give the notice if— it has been given by another entity; or the police commissioner has given the reportable offender a reporting obligations notice. A regulation under subsection (3) must not specify a court, or an officer of the court, to be an entity except when the court has made an offender reporting order. Despite anything to the contrary in this division, a notice given under this section is not required to specify the reportable offender’s reporting period if, as required by a regulation, a notice containing that information is given to the reportable offender when reporting the offender’s personal details to the police commissioner. s 54 amd 2007 No. 27 s 5 ; 2014 No. 34 s 23 ; 2017 No. 14 s 25 ; 2023 No. 21 s 27; 2024 No. 24 s 57 sch 1 pt 2 (sec.54-ssec.1) A reportable offender must be given written notice of— the offender’s reporting obligations; and the consequences that may arise if the offender fails to comply with those obligations.
