Debts in respect of ACCS (child wellbeing) for provider—individual at fault
71E Debts in respect of ACCS (child wellbeing) for provider—individual at fault
The Secretary may make a determination for an individual and a provider in the circumstances referred to in subsection (2). If the Secretary does so:
the provider is taken not to have incurred a debt that, apart from the determination, was incurred by the provider under subsection 71B(1) or 71C(2); and
the amount of the debt is instead a debt due to the Commonwealth by the individual.
The circumstances are that:
the individual makes a false or misleading statement; and
because of the statement, the provider is paid an amount by way of ACCS (child wellbeing) for one or more sessions of care provided by a service to a child who was in the care of the individual immediately before the sessions of care were provided; and
the provider incurs a debt under subsection 71B(1) or 71C(2) in relation to the payment.
