MIGRATION ACT 1958 - SECT 258F

Person must not be required to provide personal identifiers in a cruel, inhuman or degrading way etc.

    For the purposes of this Act, a requirement to provide a personal identifier, or the provision of a personal identifier, in a particular way under section   257A is not of itself taken:

  (a)   to be cruel, inhuman or degrading; or

  (b)   to be a failure to treat a person with humanity and with respect for human dignity.

However, nothing in this Act authorises the Minister or an officer to require a person to provide a personal identifier under section   257A in a cruel, inhuman or degrading way, or in a way that fails to treat the person with humanity and with respect for human dignity.
