Theoretically yeah. Maybe not for this particular act (the Online Safety Act 2023), see eg section 179(7) and 179(9) which sort of imply only a prosecutor can bring proceedings. Though I think that's largely by oversight rather than design.

It's a really poorly written act though. Compared to acts written by previous governments, this one has a pretty bad structure.
