(1) The Local Court may make an interim child protection prohibition order
prohibiting a registrable person from engaging in specified conduct if it
appears to the Local Court that it is necessary to do so to prevent an
immediate risk to the lives or sexual safety of one or more children, or
children generally.
(3) The Local Court is not required to be satisfied that the
person is likely to pose a risk to a particular child or children or a
particular class of children.
(4) If an interim prohibition order is made by
the Local Court, the Court must issue a court attendance notice requiring the
registrable person to attend the Court for a further hearing of the matter as
soon as practicable after the interim order is made.
(5) At the further
hearing, the Local Court may confirm the prohibition order (with or without
variation) or revoke it.
(6) An interim prohibition order remains in force
until it is revoked or the relevant application is withdrawn or dismissed,
whichever occurs first.
(7) Section 5 does not apply to an application for an
order under subsection (1).
