(c) Preventing a child from leaving Australia
If there is a possibility or threat that a child may be removed from Australia, the Court can make orders which:
restrain the removal of the child from Australia
request that the Australian Federal Police (AFP) place the child’s name on the Airport Watch List, and
request that the AFP assist in the implementation of the order/s.
The AFP will need a copy of the court order before placing a child’s name on the list. The child’s name will stay on the Airport Watch List until further order of the Court.
