If a plaintiff or applicant sues by practitioner, the plaintiff's or applicant's address for service is – the business address of the practitioner endorsed on the originating process; or if the practitioner acts through an agent, the business address of the agent.

If a plaintiff or applicant sues in person, the plaintiff's or applicant's address for service is the plaintiff's or applicant's address in Tasmania endorsed on the originating process.

If a defendant, respondent or other person who enters an appearance appears by practitioner, the person's address for service is – the business address of the practitioner stated in the notice of appearance; or if the practitioner acts through an agent, the business address of the agent.

If a defendant, respondent or other person who enters an appearance appears in person, the person's address for service is the person's address in Tasmania stated on the notice of appearance.

A person's address for service under this rule must be an address – at which documents may be left for the person during ordinary business hours; and to which documents may be posted to the person.

Notwithstanding this rule, an address for service specified in accordance with section 18(1) of the Service and Execution of Process Act 1992 of the Commonwealth is a sufficient address for service.
