BIOSECURITY ACT 2015 - SECT 84

84 Detention or treatment of persons

(1) A biosecurity zone regulation cannot--

(a) prohibit, regulate or control the movement of a person, or

(b) require treatment measures to be carried out on any person.

(2) A biosecurity zone regulation cannot require a person to provide samples of the person's blood, hair, saliva or any other body part or body fluid.

(3) Subsection (1)(a) does not prevent a biosecurity zone regulation being imposed in relation to any biosecurity matter, premises, area, activity or thing that has an impact on the movement of a person but is not imposed for the purpose of restricting the movement of a person.

Note : For example, a regulatory measure cannot prohibit a person from leaving premises but could prohibit a person from taking a particular animal or plant out of premises. This measure may have an impact on the movement of a person, but is not imposed for that purpose.
