State Authorities Superannuation Act 1987

If, after approving an application made under section 20, STC forms the opinion that, in relation to the application, or to a medical examination of the applicant, an untrue statement within the meaning of section 48 was made and that its approval would not have been given had the untrue statement not been made, STC shall, subject to this section, revoke the approval.

For the purpose of deciding whether or not, in relation to an application or a medical examination of an applicant, it is of the opinion referred to in subsection (1), STC may, if it thinks fit, require the applicant, within a time specified by STC or within such further time as STC may allow, to provide information, or to undergo a medical examination, or to provide medical reports, as specified by STC.

On the expiration of the time, or further time, referred to in subsection (2), STC may, whether or not the requirement so referred to is complied with, proceed to decide whether or not it is of the opinion referred to in subsection (1).

If the applicant fails to comply with a requirement under subsection (2), STC may revoke the approval.

An approval may be revoked whether it relates to a contributor or a former contributor and the revocation has effect as if the contributor or former contributor had never been entitled to the cover.

If, under subsection (1) or (4), STC revokes its approval of an application—

the applicant (if a contributor) ceases to be covered for the additional benefit and ceases to be liable to pay the additional benefit levy,

the applicant (if a contributor) is disqualified for 3 years from again applying to be covered for the additional benefit, and

the amount of any additional benefit levy paid by the applicant (whether a contributor or a former contributor) before revocation of the approval is not recoverable.
