How to Present a Consent Application

9 May 2008

The Overseas Investment Office uses several electronic tools (including an electronic document management system) for processing applications. In order to make the best use of these tools, the Office requires an electronic copy of every application as well as a hard copy. If an application is not presented electronically, Office staff must manually scan it which can delay the processing of applications.

To enable the Office to easily access hard copy material the preferred format is plain paper held together with a clip. Material that is bound or in ring binders, plastic sleeves or file dividers can be difficult to copy and use. Find out more about presenting a consent application.
