Migration Act 1958

The Migration Agents Registration Authority may require a registered migration agent:

to make a statutory declaration in answer to questions in writing by the Authority; or

to appear before an individual or individuals specified by the Authority and to answer questions; or

to provide the Authority with specified documents or records relevant to the agent’s continued registration.

If a registered migration agent appears before one individual to answer questions, that individual must record the questions and answers and give the record to the Authority.

If a registered migration agent appears before 2 or more individuals to answer questions, one of them must record the questions and answers and give the record to the Authority.

A registered migration agent is not excused from giving information or providing a document on the ground that the information or provision of the document may tend to incriminate the person.

However:

any information or document provided in response to a requirement under subsection (1); and

any information or thing (including any document) obtained as a direct or indirect result of information or a document provided in response to a requirement under subsection (1);
