Biosecurity Act 2014

The administering executive must issue an identity card to each designated officer.

The identity card must—

contain a recent photo of the designated officer; and

contain a copy of the officer’s signature; and

identify the role of the officer under this Act; and

state an expiry date for the card.

However, the administering executive is not required to issue an identity card to a person if—

the person has been appointed under part 1, division 1, 2 or 3; and

it is not practicable, in the circumstances, to issue the identity card because the person is required to implement an immediate response to a biosecurity emergency order.

Also, the identity card issued to the person because of the office ordinarily held by the person, or an identity card that the person otherwise holds, is taken to be the identity card issued to the person as a designated officer provided the identity card contains the information mentioned in subsection (2)(a), (b) and (d).

This section does not prevent the issue of a single identity card to a person for this Act and other purposes.
