You could also call this:

“How to deliver notices to the Minister and immigration officers”

If you need to send a notice or document to the Minister under this law, you must take it to the Minister’s office or give it to an immigration officer at a Department office.

If you need to send a notice or document to an immigration officer or a refugee and protection officer, you have two choices. You can either hand it to them in person or send it by registered post to a Department office.

These rules apply to all situations unless the law specifically says something different for a particular case.
