There are 2 types of arrangements, 'payment nominees' and 'correspondence nominees'. There can only be one person appointed for each type of arrangement although the same person can be appointed as both payment and correspondence nominee for a social security principal.

Under the nominee legislation the term 'principal' refers to:
