About this copy

Platform-authored navigation; no lawyer or registered migration agent reviewed this catalogue. It does not assess eligibility, points or suitability for any person.
Purpose
This short cover sheet accompanies the DNA collection consent declaration (form 1526) and DNA collection statement (form 1528), grouping them together and linking them to the correct client file and processing office.
Who lodges it
It is prepared by or on behalf of the client whose DNA is being collected as part of a departmental matter, and travels with the associated DNA forms.
When it is used
It is used when submitting a DNA collection package so the accompanying consent and statement forms can be matched to the correct case and directed to the right processing area.
