have a registered address and must notify the Registrar of Consumer
Affairs Victoria, in the form approved by the Registrar, within 14 days of

Section 17(2A) of the FOI Act requires that an application fee of $30.10
accompanies a request for access to documents. The application fee may be
waived in circumstances of hardship. If you wish to seek waiver of the
fee, you will need to provide evidence of hardship, such as a current
healthcare or pension card. 

The fee can be paid by credit/debit card, cheque or money order. If you
wish to pay by credit/debit card, please contact this office by phone to
provide your card details. Please do not send your card details to us via
