Youth Justice Act 2024

If the Secretary considers it appropriate to do so, the Secretary may revoke—

the registration of a registered Aboriginal youth justice agency; or

the registration of a Aboriginal youth justice agency in respect of certain Aboriginal youth justice agency functions and powers.

Without limiting subsection (1), in determining whether revocation is appropriate, the Secretary may have regard to the following—

any material or sustained failure by the registered Aboriginal youth justice agency to comply with any performance standards applying to that agency, that has adversely impacted on the care and supervision by the agency of an Aboriginal child or young person or Aboriginal children and young persons;

whether the registered Aboriginal youth justice agency continues to meet the requirements of section 41(1)(a) to (d);

whether the registered Aboriginal youth justice agency has become insolvent under administration or an externally administered body corporate;

any other circumstance that the Secretary considers relevant that affects the registered Aboriginal youth justice agency's ability to reasonably care for and supervise an Aboriginal child or young person.

A revocation of registration takes effect on the day specified in the notice of revocation given under section 52(2), unless the Secretary sooner decides not to revoke registration.
