(a) submit during that period to the supervision of a probation officer appointed for, or assigned to the district specified in the order, in which the probationer will reside during the probation period; and
(b) shall contain such conditions as the Court considers necessary for securing the supervision of the offender; and
(c) such additional conditions as to residence; and
(d) other matters (including submission by the probationer to medical treatment) as the Court, having regard to the circumstances of the case, considers necessary for securing the good conduct of the offender or for preventing a repetition of the same offence or the commission of other offences.

(c) the Court shall forthwith give notice of the terms of the order to an administrator.
(4) The Court by which a probation order is made shall forthwith give a copy of the order to the probationer, the probation officer under whose supervision he or she is placed, and the person in charge of any institution in which the probationer is required by the order to reside.
(5) The Court shall, except where it is itself the supervising Court, send to the district named in the order in which the probationer will reside during the probation period, a copy of the order together with such documents and information relating to the case as it considers likely to be of assistance to the supervising Court.
