66 Commission may proceed in absence of person
If a person the subject of a rescheduled conference fails to attend the conference, the commission may hold the conference, and make a decision under part 6 about the agency notice to which it relates, in the absence of the person.
However, the commission may make the decision only if satisfied—
it has enough information to make an informed decision about the agency notice, having regard to the objects of this Act and the wellbeing of the person the subject of the conference or any other person; and
the person the subject of the conference has, under section 65, received notice of the rescheduled conference or reasonable steps were taken to give the person notice of the rescheduled conference.
