CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE (SAFETY) ACT 2017 - SECT 122

122—When Chief Executive may transfer order

        (1)         The Chief Executive may transfer a child protection order (the "home order") to a participating State if—

            (a)         in the Chief Executive's opinion a child protection order to the same or a similar effect as the home order could be made under the child welfare law of that State; and

            (b)         the home order is not subject to an appeal; and

            (c)         the relevant interstate officer has consented in writing to the transfer and to any proposed variation of the terms of the order pursuant to subsection (3); and

            (d)         the persons whose consent to the transfer is required under section 123 have so consented.

        (2)         In determining whether a child protection order to the same or a similar effect as the home order could be made under the child welfare law of the participating State, the Chief Executive must not take into account the period for which it is possible under that law for such an order to be in force.

        (3)         For the purposes of transferring a child protection order to a participating State, the Chief Executive may vary the terms of the order so that it makes provision for any matter in terms that could be included in a child protection order of that type made in the participating State.

        (4)         The Chief Executive must specify in the transferred order the period for which it is to remain in force.

        (5)         That period must be—

            (a)         if the same period as that of the home order is possible for the transferred order under the child welfare law of the participating State commencing on and including the date of the registration of the order in that State—that period; or

            (b)         in any other case—as similar a period as is possible under that law but in no case longer than the period of the home order.
