1061ZZGC  How to give an assurance of support

 (1) A person gives an assurance of support by:
 (a) delivering the assurance in writing in accordance with a form approved by the Secretary:
 (i) to a person apparently performing duties at a place approved for the purpose by the Secretary; or
 (ii) to a person approved for the purpose by the Secretary; or
 (iii) in a manner, and to a place, approved for the purpose by the Secretary; or
 (b) giving the assurance in a manner approved by the Secretary for the purposes of this paragraph.

Note: If an undertaking purporting to be an assurance of support is given in some other way, the undertaking is not an assurance of support (because it is not under this Chapter) and the Secretary is not required either to accept or to reject the purported assurance.

 (2) A form approved for the purposes of paragraph (1)(a) may include other undertakings as well as the assurance of support.

 (3) A place or person approved for the purposes of paragraph (1)(a) may be in or out of Australia.

 (4) The Secretary's power to approve for the purposes of paragraph (1)(b) is not limited by any other provision of this section.

Material to accompany assurance of support

 (5) When a person is giving an assurance of support, the person must also give the following material in a way in which an assurance of support may be given under subsection (1):
 (a) information specified in a form approved by the Secretary;
 (b) documents specified by the Secretary.

 (6) If the person giving the assurance of support contravenes subsection (5), the assurance is taken not to have been given.
