Commonwealth Consolidated Regulations Commonwealth Consolidated Regulations(1) In this regulation:
"exempt person" , in relation to a part of the secure area of a security controlled airport, means somebody who, under the Act or these Regulations, is not required to properly display a valid ASIC, valid VIC or valid TAC in that part of that area.
(2) Subject to subregulation (2A), if:
(a) a security officer knows, or has reason to believe, that a person who is in a part of a security controlled airport is required under these Regulations to properly display a valid ASIC, valid VIC or valid TAC; but
(b) the person is apparently not properly displaying a valid ASIC, valid VIC or valid TAC;
the security officer may (unless the security officer knows the person to be an exempt person in relation to that part of the airport) direct the person to show him or her a valid ASIC, valid VIC or valid TAC.
(2A) At a security controlled airport from or to which no screened air service operates, subregulation (2) applies only during a traffic period for the airport.

(b) another appropriate form of identification.
(4) A person (other than a person who is an exempt person for the area or part) must comply with a direction of a security officer under subregulation (2).
(5) If an exempt person is given a direction by a security officer under subregulation (2), the exempt person must show the security officer identification that establishes that he or she is an exempt person.
