70Excluded person to provide new address

70 Excluded person to provide new address (1) If the court includes an exclusion condition in a personal safety intervention order, the court must— (a) ask the respondent to provide an address for the service of documents; and (b) advise the respondent that if a police officer is unable to locate the respondent to serve the respondent with a document under this Act the police officer may, under section 181, seek information about the respondent from public sector organisations. (2) Without limiting subsection (1)(a), the address may be an email address. See the **Electronic Transactions (Victoria) Act 2000** which provides that written information that is required or permitted to be given to a person (other than the delivery of information or a document required to be effected only by personal service) may, with the person's consent, be given by means of an electronic communication. See also section 506(5) of the **Residential Tenancies Act 1997** which provides for the service by email of documents under that Act. (3) The respondent is not obliged to comply with the request to provide an address. (4) If the respondent provides an address under subsection (1) other than the address where the respondent lives or works and another person living at the address advises the court that the person does not consent to the use of the address for the service of documents under this Act, the address is not a valid address for the service of the documents.
