Paid Parental Leave Act 2010

The Secretary may give a nominee of a person a notice that requires the nominee to inform the Department if:

either:

an event or change of circumstances happens; or

the nominee becomes aware that an event or change of circumstances is likely to happen; and

the event or change of circumstances is likely to affect:

the ability of the nominee to act as the payment nominee or correspondence nominee of the person (as the case may be); or

the ability of the Secretary to give notices to the nominee under this Act; or

the ability of the nominee to comply with notices given to the nominee by the Secretary under this Act.

A notice under subsection (1):

must be in writing; and

may be given personally or by post or by any other means approved by the Secretary; and

must specify how the nominee is to give the information to the Department; and

must specify the period within which the nominee is to give the information to the Department.

A notice under subsection (1) is not ineffective just because it does not comply with paragraph (2)(c).

The period specified under paragraph (2)(d) must not end earlier than 14 days after:

the day on which the event or change of circumstances happens; or

the day on which the nominee becomes aware that the event or change of circumstances is likely to happen.

Subsection (4) does not apply to a requirement in a notice for a nominee to inform the Department of any proposal by the nominee to leave Australia.

This section extends to:

acts, omissions, matters and things outside Australia, whether or not in a foreign country; and

all persons, irrespective of their nationality or citizenship.
