   (a)  intends to leave Victoria for 14 or more consecutive days to travel
        elsewhere in Australia; or

   (b)  intends to leave Victoria to travel out of Australia.

(2) At least 7 days before leaving Victoria, the registrable offender must
report the intended travel to the Chief Commissioner of Police and must
provide details of-

   (a)  each State, Territory or country to which he or she intends to go
        while out of Victoria; and

   (b)  the approximate dates during which he or she intends to be in each of
        those States, Territories or countries; and

   (c)  each address or location within each State, Territory or country at
        which he or she intends to reside (to the extent that they are known)
        and the approximate dates during which he or she intends to reside at
        those addresses or locations; and

   (d)  if he or she intends to return to Victoria, the approximate date on
        which he or she intends to return; and

   (e)  if he or she does not intend to return to Victoria, a statement of
        that intention.

(3) If circumstances arise making it impracticable for a registrable offender
to make the report 7 days before he or she leaves, it is sufficient compliance
with subsection (2) if the registrable offender reports the required
information to the Chief Commissioner of Police at least 24 hours before
leaving Victoria.
