Aged Care Act 2024

An entity may apply to the Commissioner to be registered as a registered provider.

The application must:

be in an approved form; and

be accompanied by the application fee (if any) prescribed by the rules.

The Commissioner is not required to make a decision on the application if this subsection is not complied with: see section 589.

The application can be withdrawn: see section 590.

The entity may, at the same time, make an application under section 111 to approve a residential care home in relation to the entity.

Without limiting subsection (2), the application must specify:

each provider registration category that the entity is applying to be registered in; and

each service type (the intended service types) that the funded aged care services which the entity intends to deliver are in; and

each service group through which the entity intends to deliver those service types; and

any specialist aged care program the entity intends to deliver those service types under; and

each residential care home (if any) that the entity is applying for approval of; and

each approved residential care home (if any) of the entity; and

each responsible person of the entity; and

the legal and business structure of the entity, including the nature and extent of the relationship between the entity and any associated providers of the entity; and

any other information prescribed by the rules.

Despite subsection (1), an entity may not make an application under that subsection if the entity is already a registered provider.

An entity that is already a registered provider may apply to renew the registration under Subdivision B.
