67 .         Notice to be given to reportable offender

        (1)         A reportable offender must be given written notice of —

            (b)         the consequences that may arise if he or she fails to comply with those obligations.

        (2)         A reportable offender must be given a notice under this section as soon as is practicable after he or she —

            (a)         is sentenced for a reportable offence; or

            (b)         is released from government custody (whether in government custody for a reportable offence or otherwise); or

            (c)         enters Western Australia, if he or she has not previously been given notice of his or her reporting obligations in Western Australia; or

            (d)         becomes a corresponding reportable offender, if he or she is in Western Australia at that time.

        (3)         Subsection (2)(b) is taken to have been complied with if the reportable offender is given the notice within 7 days before his or her release from government custody.

        (4)         A notice under this section must be given by the person, or a person who falls within a class of persons, specified in, or determined in accordance with, the regulations.

        (5)         A person is not required to give a notice under this section if the notice has been given by another person.

        (6)         Despite anything in this Division, the regulations may provide that a notice given under this section is not required to specify the reportable offender’s reporting period if the regulations require a notice containing that information to be given at the time the reportable offender first reports his or her personal details to the Commissioner.
