Form 956a, also known as the Appointment or Withdrawal of an Authorised Recipient, is a document used in Australian visa applications. It serves as an authorization for a third-party individual or organization to receive communication about your visa application on your behalf.
Forms 956 and 956A are not mandatory for visa applications. They are only used when you appoint another person to manage the immigration process on your behalf.
If a person 16 years of age or older wants to appoint a different authorised recipient they should complete a separate form 956A. The Department may use a range of means to send documents to your authorised recipient.
The following people are called an exempt person. These people can provide immigration assistance for a visa, but only if they do not charge you a fee: your spouse, parent, brother, sister, child or adopted child. your sponsor or nominator.
To cancel an authorisation, you need to submit Form 956A. This will notify the Department of Home Affairs that you plan on withdrawing an exempt person from receiving communication on your behalf.
