What is a Statutory Declaration?
A Statutory Declaration is considered a legal document. This means that anything in a Statutory Declaration is considered to be the sworn truth. Under the Commonwealth Statutory Declarations Act anyone who makes a false statement in a declaration is guilty of an offence and can be fined or jailed. The form is provided on the DSA website along with the special consideration form. You need to write a true statement about your circumstances and then your signature must be witnessed by an approved witness. Witnesses can include pharmacists, lawyers or doctors (a complete list can be found on the back of the stat dec form). You must show a photo ID to your chosen witness. For further help with understanding what’s required, contact a DUSA Student Rights Officer.

This in itself can require time and money to do.
