#### 19 Information to be provided before carrying out identification tests
(1) For paragraph 30(1)(b) of Schedule 2 of the Act, the matters about which the authorised officer must inform the non‑citizen before carrying out an identification test are:
(a) the reason why a personal identifier is required to be provided; and
(b) how a personal identifier may be collected; and
(c) how any personal identifier that is collected may be used; and
(d) if the non‑citizen is a minor or an incapable person—how a personal identifier is to be obtained from a minor or incapable person.
> Note: See Division 3 of Part 5 of Schedule 2 to the Act in relation to the identification of minors and incapable persons.
(2) Also, the authorised officer must inform the non‑citizen:
(a) that a personal identifier may be produced in evidence in a court or tribunal in relation to the non‑citizen who provided the personal identifier; and
(b) that the Privacy Act 1988 applies to personal information, including personal identifiers, and that the non‑citizen has a right to make a complaint to the Australian Information Commissioner about the handling of the non‑citizen’s personal information; and
(c) that:
(i) the Freedom of Information Act 1982 gives a person access to certain information and documents in the possession of the Government of the Commonwealth and of its agencies; and
(ii) the non‑citizen has a right, under that Act, to seek:
(A) access to that information or those documents; and
(B) amendment of records containing personal information that is incomplete, incorrect, out of date or misleading.
(3) For subclause 30(3) of Schedule 2 of the Act, if a form is to be given to a non‑citizen setting out any information mentioned in subregulation (1) or (2), it must be given to the non‑citizen at a time that gives the non‑citizen enough time to read and understand the form before the identification test is conducted.
