16DWhere prescribed testing procedure may be carried out
An authorised person may require an offender to whom section 16B applies to undergo testing at the place where the offender is given notice under section 16B(2) personally by the authorised person.
Subsection (1) applies even if the place where the offender is given notice personally by the authorised person is—
- a public place (as defined in section 2(1) of the Summary Offences Act 1981); or
- a place that is wholly or partly outside a dwelling house, or any other building, at the offender’s residential address.
However, an offender cannot be required to undergo a prescribed testing procedure in a place specified in subsection (2)(a) or (b) if the testing procedure involves the collection of blood or urine.
An offender given notice personally (in writing or orally) by the authorised person may be required by the authorised person, if subsection (3) applies or if it is not reasonably practicable to require the offender to undergo testing at the place where the offender is given notice, to accompany the authorised person to any other place where it is likely that it will be reasonably practicable for the offender to undergo testing.
An offender given a notice under section 16C(1)(c) or (2) that requires the offender to undergo testing is required to report to the testing facility whose name and location are specified in the notice, at the time or times specified, to undergo testing.
