Public Health Act 2016

A hotel‑quarantined person is liable to pay the fee prescribed by the regulations.

For the purposes of subsection (1), the Chief Health Officer may issue to the person an invoice stating —

the date of the invoice; and

the name of the hotel‑quarantined person to whom the invoice relates; and

the amount of the fee payable by the hotel‑quarantined person to whom the invoice relates.

If the hotel‑quarantined person is a child —

the Chief Health Officer may issue the invoice to the child’s parent or guardian; and

the child’s parent or guardian is liable to pay the fee.

The regulations may provide for a combined fee for 2 or more hotel‑quarantined persons who are required or permitted to comply with a quarantine direction in shared accommodation, in which case —

the Chief Health Officer may issue a single invoice; and

each person (other than a child) is jointly and severally liable for the combined fee.
