Migration Act 1958

This section applies if:

the approved primary reporting system for reporting on passengers or crew on an aircraft or ship is an electronic system; and

either:

the operator of the aircraft or ship cannot report on some or all of the passengers or crew (the relevant passengers or crew) using the approved primary reporting system because the system is not working; or

the Secretary permits the operator of the aircraft or ship to report on some or all of the passengers or crew (the relevant passengers or crew) using an approved fall‑back reporting system.

Sections 245L and 245LA apply in relation to the relevant passengers or crew as if:

the reference in subsections 245L(2) and 245LA(2) to the approved primary reporting system for passengers, or the approved primary reporting system for crew, were instead a reference to an approved fall‑back reporting system; and

the reference in subsections 245L(3) and 245LA(4) to the information that is specified, as mentioned in subsection 245J(3), in relation to the relevant approved primary reporting system were instead a reference to the information that is specified, as mentioned in subsection 245K(2), in relation to the approved fall‑back reporting system that the operator uses in relation to the relevant passengers or crew.
