About this copy
Original factual summaries describing what each official form is for and who lodges it. No form fields, layout or text are reproduced; the official PDF remains the only form.
Platform-authored navigation; no lawyer or registered migration agent reviewed this catalogue. It does not assess eligibility, points or suitability for any person.
Purpose
A form for notifying the Department that information previously provided was incorrect, and supplying the correct information. It addresses obligations under the Migration Act 1958 to correct incorrect answers.
Who lodges it
The visa applicant or visa holder who gave the incorrect information.
When it is used
Used when a person realises that information they gave in a visa application, on a passenger card, or in response to a departmental notice was incorrect, including where it remains incorrect after a visa has been granted. A different form is used where circumstances have since changed rather than where the original answer was wrong.
