Fair Work Regulations 2009

Before the end of 28 days after receiving the infringement notice, the recipient may apply, in writing, to the nominated person for the infringement notice to be withdrawn.

Within 14 days after receiving the application, the nominated person must:

withdraw or refuse to withdraw the infringement notice; and

notify the recipient in writing of the decision and, if the decision is a refusal, the reasons for the decision.

If the nominated person has not approved, or refused to approve, the withdrawal of the infringement notice within the period allowed by subregulation (2), the application is taken to have been refused.

An inspector may also withdraw an infringement notice issued by him or her by serving a notice of withdrawal on the recipient without an application having been made.

A notice of the withdrawal of an infringement notice must:

specify the recipient’s full name; and

specify the recipient’s address; and

specify its date of issue; and

state that the infringement notice is withdrawn.
