24 Application for service approval for a children's service—relocation of existing children's service
(1) This regulation applies if—
(a) an application for a service approval relates to a children's service that is an approved children's service; and
(b) the purpose of the application is to change the location of that service.
A service approval cannot be amended to change the location of a children's service—see section 53(8) of the Act.
(2) If the children's service is to be relocated for less than 12 months, the Regulatory Authority may determine that the requirements of regulation 23(1)(b) or (g) do not apply to the application for the service approval.
(3) If the children's service is to be relocated due to exceptional circumstances (whether for more or less than 12 months), the Regulatory Authority may determine that any of the following information is not required to be provided in the application for the service approval—
(a) the information set out in regulation 22(g);
(b) the contact details of the nominated supervisor set out in regulation 22(j);
Reg. 24(3)(c) amended by S.R. No. 12/2024 reg. 12.
(c) any of the information set out in regulation 23(1)(b), (ba), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g).
(4) If the Regulatory Authority makes a determination under subregulation (3), the approved provider must provide the relevant information to the Regulatory Authority as soon as possible.
(5) A failure by the approved provider to provide the relevant information to the Regulatory Authority under subregulation (4) does not prevent the Regulatory Authority granting the service approval.
