You can appoint another person as your authorised recipient to receive written communications about your application on your behalf. This can be done by completing Form 956A Appointment or withdrawal of an authorised recipient.

If you are being assisted in your application by a migration agent or an exempt person, the migration agent or the exempt person should complete Form 956 Advice by a migration agent/exempt person of providing immigration assistance.
