207ZI: Expiry and revival of order transferred from New Zealand

You could also call this:

"What happens to a New Zealand protection order when it's transferred to another state and then cancelled"

Illustration for Oranga Tamariki Act 1989

If you have a protection order from New Zealand, it is called the home order. This home order stops being effective under New Zealand law when an interstate officer registers a new protection order, called the interstate order, in another state. The interstate order is made under the law of that other state.

If the interstate order is revoked, the home order starts being effective again under New Zealand law. You can find more information about the law that allows this to happen in the Children, Young Persons, and Their Families (Trans-Tasman Transfer of Protection Orders and Proceedings) Amendment Act 1999. The home order will be effective again until it would have normally stopped being effective if it had not been transferred to another state.
