58 Service of documents if entity absent from Australia or cannot be found
(1) This section applies if: (a) a document needs to be served on an entity in respect of any proceeding to recover a scheme debt; and (b) the Commissioner, after making reasonable inquiries, is satisfied that: (i) the entity is absent from Australia and does not have any agent in Australia on whom the document can be served; or (ii) the entity cannot be found. (2) The Commissioner may, without the court’s leave, serve the document by posting it, or a sealed copy of it, in a letter addressed to the entity at any Australian address of the entity (including the entity’s Australian place of business or residence) that is last known to the Commissioner.
