Regulation of immigration advisers - Offences

70: Offence to fail to notify change in circumstances

You could also call this:

“Breaking the law by not telling about important changes if you help with immigration”

If you are an immigration adviser, you must tell the Immigration Advisers Authority if something important about you changes. If you don’t tell them without a good reason, you are breaking the law. This is explained in section 26 of the law.

If you are found guilty of not telling the Authority about these changes, you might have to pay a fine. The fine could be up to $10,000.
