and the Employer and Member reasonably expect that change is not of a temporary nature; or

an application by the Member under regulation 23(1) is accepted.
If a Member fails to provide medical information when required to do so under subregulation (1) the Board may impose a health condition on the Member.

If, in reliance on a statement made in medical information provided by a Gold State Super Member, the Board does not impose a health condition on the Member and the Board subsequently becomes aware that —
the Member knew the statement was untrue; or
the statement was misleading because it omitted material information of which the Member had knowledge,
the Board may impose a health condition on the Member.
If a Member who is subject to a health condition satisfies the Board that his or her health has improved since the condition was imposed, the Board may —
remove or vary the condition; or
in the case of a condition of the kind described in paragraph (b) of the definition of health condition in regulation 12, replace it with one of the kind described in paragraph (a) of that definition.
If the Board imposes a health condition on a Member in circumstances described in subregulation (1)(b), the condition applies only in respect of the Member’s membership relating to the increased working hours.
If the Board imposes a health condition on a Member in circumstances described in subregulation (1)(c) or (d), the condition applies only in respect of the Member’s period of membership after the application is accepted.
