55 Application of reporting requirements in relation to individuals
To avoid doubt, if:
an individual is an officer or an employee of an entity, or is engaged as a consultant or a contractor by an entity; and
the entity is:
a body corporate; or
an agency or instrumentality of the Commonwealth, a State or a Territory; and
the individual’s duties include handling a security‑sensitive biological agent at a facility of the entity;
the individual is not required to give a report under subsection 42(1) or 48(3) or section 48A in relation to that security‑sensitive biological agent and that facility.
The entity is required to give the report.
If:
2 or more individuals handle one or more security‑sensitive biological agents at the same facility; and
each individual is required to give a report under subsection 42(1) or 48(3) or section 48A in relation to those security‑sensitive biological agents;
each individual satisfies that requirement if:
each individual gives a report under that subsection or section; or
all the individuals, acting jointly, give a joint report under that subsection or section.
