106: Notices

"How you get important notices under the law"

Illustration for Retirement Villages Act 2003

You can get a notice under this Act by having it delivered to you in person. It can also be left at or sent to your last known home or work address. If a notice is sent to you by post, you are usually considered to have received it when it would normally arrive. You don't have to prove you got the notice, but someone might try to prove you didn't get it. If that happens, the notice is still considered to have been delivered at the normal time, unless someone can show that didn't happen. This means you should check your mail regularly to make sure you don't miss any important notices.

Any notice under this Act may be given to any person by delivering it to that person either personally or by leaving it at, or sending it to, the person's last known or usual place of residence or business.
If a notice addressed to a person at the person's last known or usual place of residence or business is posted, it is deemed, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, to have been received at the time when it would in the ordinary course of post be delivered.
