504 Varying or revoking banning order on Commissioner’s own initiative
(1) The Commissioner may, on the Commissioner’s own initiative, vary or revoke a banning order made against an entity if the Commissioner considers that it is appropriate in all the circumstances to do so.
(2) Without limiting subsection (1), the Commissioner may in varying a banning order do either or both of the following:
(a) vary, or revoke, a condition to which the order is subject;
(b) specify one or more new conditions to which the order is to be subject.
(3) If the Commissioner decides to vary or revoke a banning order made against an entity, the Commissioner must, as soon as is practicable, give the entity a written notice that:
(c) specifies the day on which the variation or revocation takes effect; and
(d) if a condition to which the order is subject is varied—sets out the condition as varied; and
(e) specifies any conditions to which the order was subject that have been revoked; and
(f) specifies any new conditions to which the order is subject; and
(g) states how the entity may apply for reconsideration of the decision.
(4) If the Commissioner gives a notice under subsection (3) to an aged care worker, or responsible person, of a registered provider, the Commissioner must give the provider a copy of the notice as soon as is practicable.
