               Minors less than 15 years old
          (1) A person who is less than 15 years old must not be required under
              Division 13AA of this Part to provide a personal identifier other
              than a personal identifier consisting of:
                (a) a measurement of the person’s height and weight; or
                (b) the person’s photograph or other image of the person’s face.

               Persons present while identification test is carried out
          (5) If a person who is a minor provides a personal identifier, in
              accordance with a requirement under Division 13AA of this Part,
              by way of an identification test carried out by an authorised officer,
              the test must be carried out in the presence of:
                (a) a parent or guardian of the minor; or
                (b) an independent person.
          (6) However, if the Minister is the minor’s guardian, the test must be
              carried out in the presence of an independent person other than the
              Minister.
