Working with Children Check Act 2000

This section applies if a provision of this part requires the chief executive to decide—

whether to cancel a person’s working with children authority or negative notice; or

not to cancel a person’s working with children authority; or

to cancel a person’s negative notice; or

to end the suspension of a person’s working with children authority; and
