Yes, in terms of whether the person is in or out of Australia.
Australia's visa regulations contain numerous examples where a person's location (whether in or outside of Australia) affects whether the person is eligible for a visa. For example, a Temporary Work (Short Stay) (subclass 400) visa can only be applied for and granted while the person is outside Australia.
The Department can verify whether a person is inside or outside of Australia by matching the person's passport number against arrival and departure records. This is relatively straightforward as all visa and movement records are stored electronically.
