Who should a lobbyist nominate as the responsible officer in their application for registration?
The responsible officer is a key position for email communications between the Department of the Prime Minister 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, ongoing quarterly reminders that lobbyists’ details must be confirmed as being up to date and other matters that might arise in connection with continuing registration. In nominating a person as the responsible officer, it is in your 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 officer, you will need to update their details, including their email address, to ensure that you continue to receive emails relating to the Register of Lobbyists.
