NATIONAL VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING REGULATOR ACT 2011 - SECT 73

  (1)   An authorised officer must, before entering premises under a warrant:

  (a)   announce that he or she is authorised to enter the premises; and

  (b)   show his or her identity card to the occupier of the premises, or to another person who apparently represents the occupier, if the occupier or other person is present at the premises; and

  (c)   give any person at the premises an opportunity to allow entry to the premises.

  (2)   However, an authorised officer is not required to comply with subsection   (1) if he or she believes on reasonable grounds that immediate entry to the premises is required to ensure that the effective execution of the warrant is not frustrated.

  (3)   If:

  (a)   an authorised officer does not comply with subsection   (1) because of subsection   (2); and

  (b)   the occupier of the premises, or another person who apparently represents the occupier, is present at the premises;

the authorised officer must, as soon as practicable after entering the premises, show his or her identity card to the occupier or other person.
