Aircraft and ships to which section applies

 (1) This section applies to an aircraft or ship of a kind to which this Division applies that is due to depart from a place in Australia on a flight or voyage to a place outside Australia (whether or not after calling at other places in Australia).

Obligation to report on passengers and crew

 (2) The operator of the aircraft or ship must, in accordance with this section:

 (a) report to the Department, using the approved primary reporting system for passengers, on each passenger who is on, or is expected to be on, the flight or voyage (including any part of the flight or voyage); and

 (b) the regulations prescribe that a report under subsection (2) must only relate to the part of the flight or voyage that is from the last place in Australia to the place outside Australia;

Deadline for providing a report

 (5) A report on a passenger or crew member under subsection (2) must be provided:

 (a) if the regulations prescribe a period or periods before the aircraft’s or ship’s departure from a place for the giving of a report under subsection (2) in relation to the passenger or crew member—not later than the start of that period or each of those periods; and

 (b) if the regulations prescribe an event or events for the giving of a report under subsection (2) in relation to the passenger or crew member—at the time of that event or each of those events; and

 (c) if the regulations prescribe a time or times for the giving of a report under subsection (2) in relation to the passenger or crew member—at that time or each of those times.

 (6) To avoid doubt, more than one report may be required to be provided under subsection (2) in relation to a passenger or crew member.

Note: For example, if regulations made for the purposes of subsection (5) prescribe a period of 48 hours before the aircraft’s or ship’s departure from a place on the flight or voyage and also prescribe an event of the passenger or crew member checkingin for the flight or voyage, then 2 reports would be required to be provided under this section in relation to the passenger or crew member.
