The below statement is in response to a media query received from the Royal Gazette.

“Matters concerning the public notification of registered sex offenders are the remit of the Minister of Justice who is empowered under the Criminal Code Act 1907 to make disclosures under specific circumstances. The BPS can confirm that it works closely with the Attorney General, the Department of Corrections and others to monitor offenders – ensuring their compliance with the requirements to be registered and more generally to ensure that the list of sex offenders is properly maintained.”
