Understanding the Lawful Use of Digital Signatures for it in Australia

How to eSign a document: digital signature lawfulness for IT in Australia

question are electronic signatures accepted it really depends what we're talking about here I can't give a a unit a universal answer to that question because it depends on I suppose the question on the document um but certainly sometimes electronic signatures are fine uh in terms of let's say a form 80 you know we've used electronic signatures relationship statements you know electronic um digital images of the signature so it's not necessarily a printed copy of the form 80 or printed copy of the relationship statement signed by hand scanned back up we don't need to do that we have used electronic signatures for those types of those types of documents before without any problems so generally electronic signatures really won't pose an issue but it might depend on what what you're referring to specifically if there's a limitation regarding that document you know so I can't can't give a yes or no answer to that it depends on the document type but hopefully I've given you some examples that maybe you know most commonly relate to where you might be signing something for a part of is it's typically the relationship statement and the form 80. the can't really right now off the top Mead recall any other areas you'd be signing and but you know form triple Eights those need to be signed in by hand because they're you know that's that person signing and that the qualified person witnessing that signature so that all needs to be done by hand that can't be digital um so to me those are probably the three likely areas you might be asking that question in relation to but if I've misunderstood just just let me know
