Section 5BB — Migration Act 1958: Providing photographs and other images of faces to authorised systems

(1) Subsections (2) and (3) apply if: (a) a provision of the migration law uses the expression “authorised system”; and (b) the provision requires a person to provide to an authorised system a photograph or other image of the person’s face; and (c) for the purposes of that requirement, the person submits to the authorised system collecting: (i) a photograph or other image of the person’s face; or (ii) a photograph or other image from which the authorised system can derive (such as by cropping) a photograph or other image of the person’s face. (2) For the purposes of the migration law, if the authorised system collects a photograph or other image of the person’s face, the person is taken to provide the photograph or other image to the authorised system for the purposes of the requirement mentioned in paragraph (1)(b). (3) For the purposes of the migration law, if: (a) the authorised system collects a photograph or other image from which the authorised system can derive (such as by cropping) a photograph or other image of the person’s face; and (b) the authorised system derives a photograph or other image of the person’s face (the derived image) from the photograph or other image that the authorised system collects; the person is taken to provide the derived image to the authorised system for the purposes of the requirement mentioned in paragraph (1)(b). (4) When used in this section (other than in paragraph (1)(a) of this section), authorised system has the same meaning as when used in the provision mentioned in paragraph (1)(a).
