Children and Young People Act 2008

The director‑general may revoke an educational institution’s exemption under section 784 if satisfied that the educational institution has not complied with, or continued to comply with, the work experience standards.

Before revoking an exemption under subsection (1), the director‑general must—

give the educational institution written notice of the director‑general’s intention to revoke the exemption, including the director‑general’s reasons; and

tell the educational institution that it may make a submission, in writing, to the director‑general about the notice not later than 14 days after the day the notice is given to the educational institution; and

if the educational institution makes a submission—consider the submission.

This section is in addition to the Legislation Act, section 180 (Power to make decision includes power to reverse or change).

Under the Legislation Act, s 180, power given by a law to make a decision includes power to reverse or change the decision. The power to reverse or change the decision is exercisable in the same way, and subject to the same conditions, as the power to make the decision.

A decision under this section is a reviewable decision (see s 839).

Work safety matters are dealt with in the Work Health and Safety Act 2011.
