See also Immigration Act 2009 ss 288, 388(2)
If an immigration officer who is authorised to exercise powers under section 288 of the Act has good cause to suspect that a person:
- is liable for deportation or turnaround; or
- is not complying with, or is materially breaching, the conditions of the person’s visa; or
- is undertaking work or a course of study where the person is not entitled to undertake that work or study under the Act; or
- has obtained a visa under a fraudulent identity
the officer may require the person to allow biometric information to be collected from him or her, in order to determine whether any of the matters specified in (a) - (d) apply to the person.
Note: The powers under section 288 of the Act are not currently authorised to immigration officers and are not to be exercised by any officer until further notice.
