34 Youth to be provided with copy of report
(1) A youth on whom a forensic procedure is carried out under this
Division, or the support person with the youth, must be provided
with a copy of:
(a) if the procedure was carried out by a medical practitioner or
dentist – the report in respect of the procedure by the medical
practitioner or dentist; and
(b) any reports in relation to the testing or analysis of samples
obtained from the procedure.
(2) However, a report does not need to be given to the youth or support
person if the sample that was analysed or tested was a sample
from a person other than the youth despite that the sample was
taken from the body of the youth under the procedure.
