Div 64 Referrals not requiring offender notification

Division 6.4 Referrals not requiring offender notification Section 28A page 26 Crimes (Restorative Justice) Act 2004 (c) the entity is satisfied, having regard to the objects of this Act, that it is not appropriate, or it is not reasonably practicable in the circumstances, to notify the offender that the offence is being considered for restorative justice. Note For a referral under this section, the referring entity is not required to be satisfied the offender is an eligible offender. However, the director-general must be satisfied of that before deciding the offence is suitable for restorative justice (see s 30 (b)). (2) The restorative justice guidelines may prescribe procedures for how a post-sentence referring entity must make decisions about referrals under subsection (1). (3) In this section: post-sentence referring entity means an entity mentioned in table 22, item 5, column 2. post-sentence stage, in relation to an offence for which the offender is found guilty, means— (a) after a court has made a sentence-related order for the offender; and (b) before the end of the term of the sentence-related order or the sentence (if any) of which it forms part (whichever is later).
