38 Exception—offender in government custody This division does not apply to a registrable offender in relation to a year if the offender is in government custody at the end of the relevant time for the offender’s report in that year. J first reported his personal details to the chief police officer on 14 October 2005. However, J is in government custody from 1 October 2006 to 1 November 2006. Because of this section, J does not have to report his details on or before 31 October 2006. However, when J leaves custody, he will have to report any change to his personal details (see s 56).
