Who should a lobbyist nominate as the Responsible Person in the lobbyist’s application for registration?
The responsible person is the person who is responsible for completing registration on behalf of the firm and arranging and coordinating provision of the supporting documentation for employees etc, including statutory declarations. The responsible person is a key position for communications between the Department of Premier and Cabinet and the lobbyist. These communications will include advice that an application for registration has been received, advice that registration has been approved or not approved, and other matters that might arise in connection with continuing registration. In nominating a person as the responsible person, it is in the lobbyist’s interest to ensure that the person is at a level that he or she can deal with any communications from the Department as appropriate. In the event of a change to the responsible person, that position’s details will need to be updated on the Lobbyist Register, including the relevant email address, to ensure that the lobbyist continues
