This policy covers what a forensic procedure is, who can be DNA tested, and the presence of an interview friend or legal representative.

Youth Justice NSW employees should understand how the DNA forensic testing procedures operate so they can explain the procedure to young people and ensure they are aware of their rights under the legislation.
