Notices must be given

 (1) As soon as practicable after the Registrar:

 (b) varies particulars entered in the Child Support Register in relation to a registrable maintenance liability;
the Registrar must serve on the payer and payee of the liability a notice in writing of the particulars entered in the Child Support Register in relation to the liability, unless notice of those particulars has already been given to the payer and the payee under the Assessment Act.

 (2) As soon as practicable after the Registrar deletes an entry in relation to a registrable maintenance liability from the Child Support Register, the Registrar must serve a notice of the decision on the payer and payee.

 (3) As soon as practicable after the Registrar makes an appealable refusal decision in relation to a registrable maintenance liability, the Registrar must serve a notice in writing of the decision on the payer and payee.

Content of notices

 (4) A notice served on a person under this section in relation to a decision (the original decision) must include, or be accompanied by, a statement to the effect that:
 (a) the person may, subject to this Act, object to the original decision; and
 (b) if the person is dissatisfied by a later decision of the Registrar on an objection to the original decision (no matter who lodges the objection), the person may, subject to this Act, apply to the SSAT for review of the later decision.

 (5) A contravention of subsection (4) in relation to a decision does not affect the validity of the decision.
