Actions of correspondence nominee on behalf of principal
219TG Actions of correspondence nominee on behalf of principal
Subject to section 219TR and subsection (4), any act that may be done by a person under, or for the purposes of, the family assistance law (other than an act for the purposes of Division 2 or 3) may be done by the person’s correspondence nominee.
Without limiting subsection (1), an application or claim that may be made under the family assistance law by a person may be made by the person’s correspondence nominee on behalf of the person, and an application or claim so made is taken to be made by the person.
An act done by a person’s correspondence nominee under this section has effect, for the purposes of the family assistance law (other than this Part), as if it had been done by the person.
If, under a provision of the family assistance law, the Secretary gives a notice to a person who has a correspondence nominee, subsection (1) does not extend to an act that is required by the notice to be done by the person.
