19 Reportable offender must report changes to relevant personal details (1) A reportable offender must report to the Commissioner any change in his or her personal details within 7 days after that change occurs. (1A) If the change is a change to the reportable offender's personal appearance that only alters the offender's appearance in a way that is insignificant, the offender need not report the change. (1B) Despite subsection (1A), if the change includes any of the following the reportable offender must report the change under subsection (1) even if the offender believes the change alters his or her appearance in a way that is insignificant: (a) shaving off a moustache or beard, growing a moustache or beard or applying a false moustache or beard; (b) colouring hair so it is a different colour (as opposed to a mere change in the shade of colour); (c) changing hair styles by shaving the head so it is bald, curling straight hair, straightening curly or wavy hair, shortening hair previously worn long or wearing a wig.

Child Protection (Offender Reporting and Registration) Act 2004 18 (1C) If the change includes a change of the reportable offender's name, he or she must give the Commissioner, at the time of making the report, a copy of: (a) any new birth certificate issued in relation to the change of name; and (b) any other documents relating to the change of name. (1D) A reportable offender must also report to the Commissioner, within 7 days, any additional personal details as required by section 16(1) that have not been previously reported to the Commissioner. Example for subsection (1D) Additional personal details would include additional telephone numbers, email addresses or internet service providers used by the reportable offender that have not been previously reported to the Commissioner. (2) For subsection (1), a change occurs in the place where the reportable offender or a child generally resides, or as to when the reportable offender has unsupervised contact with a child, or in the place where the reportable offender is generally employed, or the motor vehicle that he or she generally drives, only if the minimum number of days referred to in section 16(2) is reached or exceeded. (2A) Subsection (2) does not limit a requirement under section 20 for a reportable offender to report intended travel merely because the travel results (or will result) in a change in a place where the reportable offender generally resides. Example for subsection (2A) A reportable offender travels to another place within Australia and takes up residence at the other place. Although the reportable offender is not required to report the change in the place of residence until 14 days after the number of days mentioned in section 16(2) have been reached, the reportable offender must have reported the intended travel to the Commissioner before leaving the Territory as required by section 20. (3) If the personal details of a reportable offender (other than one to whom Division 9 applies) change while he or she is not in the Territory, he or she must report the change to the Commissioner within 14 non-custodial days after entering the Territory unless he or she leaves the Territory before the end of that period. (4) A reportable offender who is in government custody in the Territory for 14 or more consecutive days must report his or her personal details to the Commissioner: (a) within 7 days after ceasing to be in government custody; or
