Options for receiving written communications
If you do not appoint a migration agent/legal practitioner/exempt 
person you may still authorise another person, in writing, to 
receive written communications on your behalf. This person is 
called the authorised recipient.
Authorised recipient information
All written communication about your request will be sent to your 
authorised recipient.
The Department will communicate with the most recently 
appointed authorised recipient as you may only appoint one 
authorised recipient at any time for a particular request.
You will be taken to have received any documents sent to that 
person as if they had been sent to you.
To appoint an authorised recipient you should complete:
• Options for receiving written communications; and
• form 956A Appointment or withdrawal of an authorised 
recipient.
Note
: Migration agents/legal practitioners/exempt persons do not 
need to complete form 956A.
Form 956A is available from the Department’s website
https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/help-support/departmental-
forms
Consent to communicate electronically
The Department may use a range of means to communicate with 
you. However, electronic means such as email will only be used if 
you indicate your agreement to receiving communication in this 
way.
To process your request the Department may need to 
communicate with you about sensitive information, for example, 
health, police checks, financial viability and personal relationships. 
Electronic communications, unless adequately encrypted, are not 
secure and may be viewed by others or interfered with.
If you agree to the Department communicating with you by 
electronic means, the details you provide will only be used by the 
Department for the purpose for which you have provided them, 
unless there is a legal obligation or necessity to use them for 
another purpose, or you have consented to use for another 
purpose. They will not be added to any mailing list.
The Australian Government accepts no responsibility for the 
security or integrity of any information sent to the Department 
over the internet or by other electronic means.
If you authorise another person to receive documents on your 
behalf and they wish to be contacted electronically, their signature 
is required on form 956 or 956A to indicate their consent to this 
form of communication.
Note
: Electronic communication is the fastest means of 
communication available and the Department prefers to 
communicate electronically because this results in faster processing.
