13A Additional written notices for certain correctional patients.

(1) This clause applies to and in respect of a correctional patient to whom (in accordance with clause 7 (e)) the Commissioner of Corrective Services NSW is required to give a statutory notice under section 5 of the Act.

(2) If the Commissioner is of the opinion that the registrable person to whom such a notice relates is incapable of understanding the notice, the Commissioner must cause a record of that fact to be kept.

(3) As soon as practicable after forming the opinion that a registrable person in respect of whom such a record has been made is now capable of understanding a statutory notice, the Commissioner must ensure that a copy of the notice is again given to the registrable person.

(4) This clause does not cease to apply to a registrable person just because the Commissioner takes measures in accordance with clause 14 to assist the person to understand:

(a) the person’s reporting obligations, and

(b) the consequences that may arise if the person fails to comply with those obligations,

and the Commissioner must comply with the requirements of this clause in addition to taking those measures.
