Residential Services (Accreditation) Act 2002

The service provider for an accredited service may apply to the chief executive for renewal of the accreditation.

The application must be made before the day the accreditation is due to expire (the expiry day) but may not be made more than 3 months before the expiry day.

The application must be—

in the approved form; and

signed by the service provider; and

for an application for renewal of level 1 accreditation, accompanied by—

a building compliance notice for the registered premises issued within the previous 12 months; and

the prescribed fire safety document for the registered premises; and

accompanied by the fee prescribed under a regulation.

The service provider also must provide any other relevant information reasonably required by the chief executive to decide the application.

The chief executive must decide the application by renewing the accreditation or refusing to renew the accreditation.

The chief executive may renew the accreditation on conditions the chief executive considers appropriate.

The accreditation may be renewed for a period ending not later than 3 years after the expiry day.

If the application is still current on the expiry day, the accreditation does not end before the application is decided, or is withdrawn or lapses.

If the chief executive decides the application by refusing to renew the accreditation—

the chief executive must give the service provider a notice of the decision stating the day, not before the expiry day and not earlier than 7 days after the notice is given, on which the accreditation ends; and

the accreditation continues in force until the stated day.
