Child Protection (Child Sex Offender Government Agency Registration) (Overseas Travel Reporting) Amendment Bill Member’s Bill Explanatory note General policy statement This Bill amends the Child Protection (Child Sex Offender Government Agency Register) Act 2016 (the Act) to require registered child sex offenders to provide addi‐ tional information to Police before travelling overseas.
Offenders must advise Police of the addresses of all places they will stay for more than 48 hours, the number identifying the country of issue of all passports they hold, and provide timely and reasonable explanation of any changes.

This information will allow Police and Customs networks to better protect children in the countries the offenders travel to, and supports identification of cases of sex tour‐ ism.
Information requirements for domestic and international travel are currently incon‐ sistent, although the risk of harm offenders pose to children may be the same.

This Bill aligns international travel reporting requirements with domestic travel and, where reporting requirements are not met without good reason, the same penalties will apply.

Clause 1 is the title clause.

Clause by clause analysis Clause 2 is the commencement clause.
It provides for the Bill to come into force on the day after the date on which it receives the Royal assent.
