Conditions on provider approvals
National Law: Section 19
A provider approval may be granted subject to any conditions that are prescribed in the
National Regulations or that are determined by the Regulatory Authority. All provider approvals
are granted subject to the condition that the Approved Provider must comply with the National
Law and National Regulations.
A Regulatory Authority may place additional conditions on a provider approval. For example,
a condition might be imposed to limit the number of services that may be operated by the
Approved Provider. Any additional conditions will appear on the copy of the provider approval.
Amendment of provider approval
National Law: Sections 22–24, 173, 190–191
National Regulations: Regulation 17
An Approved Provider may apply in writing to the Regulatory Authority for an amendment of
their provider approval.
A Regulatory Authority may also amend a provider approval at any time without application
by an Approved Provider, such as to vary a condition or to place a new condition on a provider
approval.
The Regulatory Authority must advise the Approved Provider in writing of the amendment, and
supply a copy of the amended provider approval to the Approved Provider.
All decisions by the Regulatory Authorities in relation to the appprovals process are reviewable.
Suspension of provider approval
National Law: Sections 25–30, 35–37

offence
• has not operated any education and care service for 12 months
