Service of notices etc
75 Service of notices etc
A notice, determination or other document required or authorised to be given or served under this Act may be given or served personally, by post or by transmitting it by email to an email address provided by the intended recipient to the Chief Recovery Officer (in which case the notice, determination or document will be taken to have been given or served at the time of transmission).
If the Chief Recovery Officer—
is required under a provision of this Act to give to or serve on a person a notice, determination or other document; and
is satisfied that—
reasonable steps have been taken to locate the person; and
the whereabouts of the person cannot be ascertained, the following provisions apply:
subject to paragraph (d), the Chief Recovery Officer must instead publish details of the notice, determination or other document on a website determined by the Chief Recovery Officer (and on publishing such details the Chief
Recovery Officer will, for the purposes of this Act, be taken to have given the person, or served the person with, the notice, determination or document);
if the person is a youth, is subject to a suppression order or is a protected person, the requirement to give the person, or serve the person with, the notice, determination or other document does not apply but—
the
Chief Recovery Officer may cause details of the notice, determination or other document to be provided to the person by any other means reasonably available that do not involve public disclosure of the name of the person; and
on providing such details the Chief Recovery Officer will, for the purposes of this Act, be taken to have given the person, or served the person with, the notice, determination or document.
