69 Refusal, amendment, suspension or cancellation of local practising certificate because of failure to show cause
The relevant regulatory authority may refuse to grant or renew, or may amend, suspend or cancel, a local practising certificate if the applicant or certificate holder—
is required by section 67 or 68 to give a written statement relating to a matter to the regulatory authority and the applicant or certificate holder has not done so; or
has given a written statement under section 67 or 68 but the authority does not consider that the applicant or certificate holder has shown in the statement that the person is a fit and proper person to hold or to continue to hold a local practising certificate.
For subsection (1)(b), a written statement accepted by the regulatory authority as mentioned in section 68(3) is taken to be given under section 67.
If the regulatory authority decides to refuse to grant or renew, or to amend, suspend or cancel, a local practising certificate—
the authority must give the applicant or certificate holder an information notice about the decision; and
the applicant or certificate holder may apply, as provided under the QCAT Act, to the tribunal for a review of the decision.
Also, the regulatory authority must give a copy of the information notice to the commissioner.
