You could also call this:

"Rules to follow after serving a sentence at home"

Illustration for Sentencing Act 2002

If you get a sentence of home detention, you have to follow some rules. You must report to a probation officer when they ask you to, and tell them where you live and work. You must also tell them if you change your job or where you live.

You cannot move to a new address in a different area without the probation officer's permission. If you do move, you have to go see a new probation officer in your new area within 72 hours. You also have to tell the probation officer if you want to change your address, and give them your new address.

You cannot live at an address that the probation officer says you cannot live at. You also cannot leave New Zealand without the probation officer's permission. If the probation officer asks, you have to let them collect information about you, like your fingerprints.

You cannot have a job that the probation officer says you cannot have. You also cannot hang out with people that the probation officer says you cannot hang out with. You have to do what the probation officer says, and take part in programmes to help you get back on track if they tell you to.
