Part 3Court bail
Granting of bail on adjournment
30AAImposition, and effect, of drug or alcohol condition
This section applies if a judicial officer or Registrar imposes a drug or alcohol condition on a defendant under section 30(4) (alone or with any of sections 40(4), 53(4), and 54(4)).
The judicial officer or Registrar cannot direct, indicate, or require that the defendant undergo or submit to drug or alcohol testing or continuous monitoring, but the condition requires the defendant to comply with all requirements arising from an authorised person giving the defendant notice under section 30T(1).
The judicial officer or Registrar must advise the defendant that the defendant must do any 1 or more of the following things if required to do so by notice given to the defendant by an authorised person under section 30T(1):
- undergo testing for a controlled drug, a psychoactive substance, or alcohol:
- submit to continuous monitoring of the defendant's compliance with the drug or alcohol condition through a drug or alcohol monitoring device connected to the defendant’s body:
- contact an automated system, and undergo testing for a controlled drug, a psychoactive substance, or alcohol if required by a response notice given by the automated system.
To avoid doubt, this section does not apply to a defendant who has been granted Police bail with a drug or alcohol condition.
