You could also call this:

“The court sends copies of child support orders to the Commissioner”

When a court makes an order under the Child Support Act 1991, someone at the court needs to send a copy of that order to the Commissioner. This person is called the Registrar or another responsible officer. They must send a certified or sealed copy of the order. They have to do this within 14 days after the court makes the order. This helps make sure the Commissioner knows about all the orders that courts make under this Act.
