Migration Act 1958

An authorised officer may apply to an issuing officer for a search warrant under this section in relation to premises.

The issuing officer may issue the search warrant if the issuing officer is satisfied, by information on oath or affirmation, that there are reasonable grounds for suspecting that there is, or there may be within the next 72 hours, evidential material on the premises.

However, the issuing officer must not issue the search warrant unless the authorised officer or some other person has given to the issuing officer, either orally or by affidavit, such further information (if any) as the issuing officer requires concerning the grounds on which the issue of the warrant is being sought.

The search warrant must:

state:

the sponsorship‑related offence or offences; or

the sponsorship‑related provision or provisions; or

the work‑related offence or offences; or

the work‑related provision or provisions;

describe the premises to which the warrant relates; and

state that the warrant is issued under this Subdivision; and

specify the kind of evidential material that is to be searched for under the warrant; and

state that the evidential material specified, and any other evidential material found in the course of executing the warrant, may be seized under the warrant; and

name one or more authorised officers; and

authorise the authorised officers named in the warrant:

to enter the premises; and

to exercise the powers set out in this Division in relation to the premises; and

state whether entry is authorised to be made at any time of the day or during specified hours of the day; and

specify the day (not more than 1 week after the issue of the warrant) on which the warrant ceases to be in force.
