No, it only applies to current reportable offenders. People who have completed their reporting requirements, or those who were convicted of offences prior to the reportable offender legislation coming into effect in 2004, are not captured by this new legislation.

The Explanatory Notes are explicit on this point: “Section 8 of the CPOROPOA outlines when a person stops being a reportable offender. The Police Commissioner must not disclose information where a person is no longer a reportable offender.”
