(1) This chapter uses the term ‘child protection order’ to refer not only
to orders made under this Act, but also to certain orders made under the laws
of other States.
(2) Specifically, an order made under a child welfare law,
or interstate law, of a participating State is a
"child protection order" for this chapter if—
(a) the order provides—
(i)
for the guardianship, custody or supervision of a child; or
(ii) for contact
with a child; or
(iii) that a parent of the child must do or refrain from
doing something directly related to the child’s protection; and
(b) the
order is made in favour of, or gives responsibility to, any of the following
entities of the participating State—
(i) a government department or
statutory authority;
(ii) a person who is head of, is employed in, or
otherwise holds an office or other position in, a government department or
statutory authority;
(iii) an organisation or the chief executive of an
organisation, whether or not the person’s position is given the name of
chief executive;
(iv) a Minister; and
(c) the order is not made on an
interim basis or for the purpose of assessing a child’s protective needs.
(3) A reference in this chapter to a child protection order, if the order is
made under a law of another State—
(a) is a reference to the order in the
form in which it is transferred, or proposed to be transferred, to Queensland;
and
(b) includes a reference to a document, prepared under the law of the
other State, stating the conditions applying to the order on its transfer to
Queensland.
