45. (1) The Registrar may, for the purpose of collecting amounts due to the
Commonwealth under an enforceable maintenance liability by deduction from the
salary or wages of the payer under this Part, give a notice in writing to an
employer of the payer:

   (a)  specifying the name of the payer and other particulars of the payer
        sufficient to enable the payer to be identified by the employer; and

   (b)  instructing the employer:

        (i)    to make in accordance with section 46, as from a specified day,
               periodic deductions in accordance with the specified
               weekly deduction rate from salary or wages paid by the employer
               to the payer; and

        (ii)   to pay to the Registrar in accordance with subsection 47 (1)
               amounts so deducted.

(2) Where:

   (a)  particulars entered in the Child Support Register in relation to an
        enforceable maintenance liability are varied; and

   (b)  the Registrar is of the opinion that the revocation or variation of a
        notice in force under subsection (1) in relation to the liability is
        necessary or desirable to take account of the variations made to those
        particulars; the Registrar shall forthwith give a notice in writing to
        the employer to whom the notice was given varying or revoking
        accordingly the earlier notice given to the employer.

(3) Where the Registrar gives a notice under subsection (1) or (2) to an
employer in relation to the payer of an enforceable maintenance liability, the
Registrar shall forthwith give a copy of the notice to the payer.
