Residential Services (Accreditation) Act 2002

The due day for applying for the level 1 accreditation of a residential service (the due day) is—

the day that is 3 months after the service is registered; or

if an extension is granted under section 46, the due day stated in the notice given under that section.

The registration of a residential service is automatically cancelled on the day following the due day unless, on the due day—

the service is accredited at level 1; or

there is a current application for the level 1 accreditation of the service.

After the due day, the registration of a residential service is automatically cancelled if—

the level 1 accreditation of the service ends; or

an application for level 1 accreditation is withdrawn or lapses.

If the registration of a residential service is cancelled under subsection (2) or (3), the chief executive must give notice of the cancellation to the service provider.

If, after the due day, an application for the level 1 accreditation of a residential service is refused, the registration of the service is cancelled on the day stated in the notice given under section 47(6).
