that it requests concerning the grounds on
which the order is sought.
(4) If the application to the Supreme Court is
made without notice of it being given to the
person in relation to whom a preventative
20
detention order is being sought, the Supreme
Court may, if in its opinion it is desirable to
do so, make an interim preventative
detention order pending the hearing and final
determination of the application.
25
Note: The maximum period during which a person
may be detained under an interim order is

but for this sub-section, would cease to have
10
effect before the application is finally
determined, continues to have effect, subject
to section 13G(1), until the application is
finally determined.
(7) On finally determining an application
15
following the making of an interim
preventative detention order, the Supreme
Court may by order--
(a) confirm the order without variation or
vary the period specified in the order as
20
the period during which the person in
relation to whom it is made may be
detained under it or vary the order to
include, or omit, a provision of a kind
referred to in section 13F(6); or

Note: The period of detention in the confirmed

extended, under section 13I.

whom an interim preventative detention
order is in force) is entitled to appear
and give evidence, call witnesses,
examine and cross-examine witnesses,
15
adduce material and make submissions;
but

detained.
(d) the date on which, and the time at
10
which, the order is made; and

15
he or she may have contact;
(ii) the period for which he or she
may have contact on any day and
the number of days on which he or
she may have such contact;
20
(iii) any other conditions applicable to

the person's detention made under a
corresponding preventative detention

(5) To avoid doubt, sub-section (4)(h) does not
require information to be included in the
summary if the disclosure of the information
is likely to prejudice national security
(within the meaning of the National Security
5
Information (Criminal and Civil
Proceedings) Act 2004 of the
Commonwealth).
(6) A preventative detention order may contain a
provision directing that the contact that the
10
person in relation to whom it is made has
with a lawyer under section 13ZF must not
be monitored in accordance with section
13ZG if the Supreme Court is satisfied that it
is appropriate to give such a direction.
15

(e) the availability of a place in a juvenile
justice facility for the person to be
15
detained in compliance with the terms
of the order;
(f) any other factor that the Supreme Court
considers relevant.
(9) Nothing in a preventative detention order
20
about the place or places where the person
may be, must be, or must not be, detained
under the order prevents the person being
taken to another place or class of place and
detained there in connection with the
25
carrying out of an examination for, or the
provision of, any necessary medical, dental,
psychiatric, physiological or pharmaceutical
services.
30 Note: Division 3 of Part 8 of the Corrections Act
1986 (as modified by section 13W(6) of this
Act) provides for the issue of a custodial
community permit to a person detained in a
prison for a purpose relating to his or her
35 health. Section 271 of the Children and

(10) The senior police officer nominated under
section 13P(4) in relation to the preventative
5
detention order must--

10
in writing of the making of the order;

(1) Subject to sub-section (2), the maximum
period (including that period, as extended, or
further extended, under section 13I) that may
be specified in a preventative detention order
25
made by the Supreme Court as the period
during which a person may be detained
under the order is 14 days less any period
during which the person is actually detained
under an order for the person's detention
30
made under a corresponding preventative
detention law on the same basis.

(3) To avoid doubt, for the purposes of sub-

if--
10
(a) in the case of orders made on the basis
of preventing a terrorist act from
occurring, they relate to the same
terrorist act occurring within the same
period; and
15
(b) in the case of orders made on the basis
of preserving evidence of, or relating
to, a terrorist act, they relate to the same
terrorist act.
13H. When order starts and ceases to have
20
effect
(1) A preventative detention order in relation to
a person starts to have effect--
(a) if the preventative detention order so
provides, on an order for the person's
25
detention made under a corresponding
preventative detention law ceasing to
have effect; or
(b) in any other case, when it is made.
30 Note: When the order starts to have effect it
authorises the person to be taken into custody,
if necessary (see section 13F(1)(a)). The
period for which the person may be detained
under the order only starts to run when the
35 person is first taken into custody or detained
under the order (see section 13F(1)(b)).

that period.
(3) If a preventative detention order does not
cease to have effect under sub-section (2), it
ceases to have effect when whichever of the
10

(i) the period specified in the order as
the period during which the
person may be detained under the
15
order; or
(ii) if that period is extended or
further extended under
section 13I--that period as
extended or further extended;
20
(b) the revocation of the order under
