Child support - Departure Prohibition Orders (DPOs)

Question

Senator RUSTON: Thank you. I've now got it clear in my mind how it actually operates. If you're thinking you're going to issue 3,000 DPOs, I am just keen to know what percentage of the population who currently have debts over $10,000 that's likely to be. Ms Power: I don't have that information at hand, but the 3,000 figure is based on information that we and other agencies do hold around people who are above the debt threshold and meet the travel requirement. We can see whether there's more information we can provide to you on notice.
