Student Identifiers Act 2014

If an application is made under section 13A in relation to an individual, the Registrar must assign a schools identifier to the individual if the individual has not already been assigned a student identifier or schools identifier.

The Registrar must give written notice of the Registrar’s decision on the application to:

the applicant; and

the individual.

However, the Registrar is not required to give the notice under subsection (2) to the individual if the Registrar is satisfied that the applicant will:

notify the individual of the Registrar’s decision; and

explain to the individual the purposes and uses of the identifier; and

if the decision is to refuse to assign the identifier to the individual—explain to the individual the reasons for the refusal.

If the Registrar assigns a schools identifier to the individual, the notice given under subsection (2) must:

set out the identifier; and

if the notice is given to the individual—explain the purposes and uses of the identifier.

If the Registrar refuses to assign a schools identifier to the individual, the notice given under subsection (2) must set out the reasons for the refusal.
