Housing Act 2003

This section applies to an accommodation provider if the provider—

intends to continue providing a community housing service in this jurisdiction after the commencement, whether exclusively or in conjunction with an ancillary housing service; and

is capable of being registered under part 4A as either—

a national provider for which this jurisdiction is the primary jurisdiction; or

a state provider.

From the commencement—

the accommodation provider’s registration under the former Act continues and the provider must comply with—

a prescribed requirement; and

the former section 37; and

each existing assistance agreement to which the provider is a party continues.

Before the application period ends, the accommodation provider may apply under section 37B for registration.

If the accommodation provider applies under section 37B before the application period ends and the registrar approves the application, on the registration of the provider under part 4A—

the provider’s registration under the former Act is cancelled; and

an existing assistance agreement to which the provider is a party continues until it is terminated or otherwise ends.
