PERSONAL SAFETY INTERVENTION ORDERS ACT 2010 - SECT 150

    (1)     As soon as practicable after registering a corresponding interstate order, the appropriate registrar must—

        (a)     give notice of the registration of the order to—

              (i)     the court that made the order; and

              (ii)     the person for whose protection the order was made; and

        (b)     give a copy of the order to the Chief Commissioner of Police and the Secretary to the Department of Human Services.

    (2)     In addition, the appropriate registrar may list the matter before the court for decision as to whether or not a copy of the registered corresponding interstate order must be served on the respondent for the interstate order at the respondent's last known address.

    (3)     If the registrar lists a matter before the court under subsection (2) the court must make an order as to whether or not a copy of the registered corresponding interstate order must be served on the respondent.

    (4)     However, the court may make an order under subsection (3) only if, after hearing from the person for whose protection the corresponding interstate order was made, the court is satisfied that revealing that the person is in Victoria would not jeopardise the safety of the person or any children of the person.

    (5)     If the court makes an order under subsection (3) the appropriate registrar must arrange for the registered corresponding interstate order to be served on the respondent.
