123CA: Disclosure of documents to assessor and service provider

You could also call this:

"Sharing documents with people who help offenders and keep others safe"

Illustration for Sentencing Act 2002

When a court makes a protection order under section 123B, you need to know what happens next. The court must think about sharing some documents with the people who assess and help the offender. The court has to consider sharing documents that are about the offender or the people who are protected by the order. The court shares these documents to help the assessors and service providers do their jobs under the Family Violence Act 2018.
