Public Health Act 1997

A person who performs a licensable public health risk procedure for which there is a procedure accreditation scheme may apply to the Minister for a modification of the procedure accreditation standards for the scheme as they apply to the person.

The Minister may, by written notice, require the person to provide stated additional information about the application.

If the person complies with this section, the Minister must, by written notice to the person, make the modification to the standards sought by the person unless satisfied that to do so would be likely to lead to a significantly increased risk to public health in the performance of the licensable public health risk procedure.

If the Minister refuses the application, the Minister must give written notice to the person of the refusal stating the reasons for the refusal.
