Service Victoria Act 2018

The Service Victoria CEO must use the identity verification standards—

when verifying identity; and

when performing a function under this Part.

The requirements of an identity verification function to obtain information relating to an individual's identity or to verify an individual's identity are met if the Service Victoria CEO, when performing the identity verification function for or on behalf of a service agency, non-Victorian government agency or non-government entity—

issues an electronic identity credential to the individual in accordance with the identity verification standards; and

notifies the agency or entity of the issue of the electronic identity credential.

Subsection (2) applies despite anything to the contrary in the enactment (if any) that confers the identity verification function on a service agency or non-Victorian government agency.
