When you read this part of the law, you need to understand what some words mean. A caregiver is a person who looks after a young person under 18 years old, or a young adult who is 18 years or older but under 21 years old and living with them. This is according to sections 386AAB to 386C and other parts of the law like section 362 and section 386AAD.

You also need to know what a young person is. A young person is someone who is defined in section 2(1). For some parts of the law, like sections 386AAD, 386C, and 447(1)(cb) and (da), a young person includes a young adult who is 18 years or older but under 21 years old.

For other parts of the law, like sections 386A and 447(1)(cc) and (da), a young person includes a young adult who is 18 years or older but under 25 years old.
