sec.372 Existing prescribed notice application or exemption notice application
This section applies if— immediately before the commencement, a prescribed notice application or exemption notice application about a person had been made but not decided, withdrawn or taken to be withdrawn; or an exemption notice application about a person given, under an arrangement between the chief executive and the chief executive (working with children), to the chief executive (working with children) before the commencement is given to the chief executive after the commencement. If the person is a person who may make an application under new section 65, the application is taken to be an NDIS worker screening application (a transitioned application ) made by the person. If the person is a person who may make an application under new section 66, the application is taken to be a State disability worker screening application (also a transitioned application ) made by the person. If neither subsection (2) nor (3) applies to the application— the application lapses on the commencement; and the chief executive must give the person who made the application and the person about whom the application was made a notice that states the application has lapsed. To remove any doubt, it is declared that subsections (2) and (3) apply even if the person is a disqualified person on the commencement. s 372 ins 2020 No. 39 s 24 (sec.372-ssec.1) This section applies if— immediately before the commencement, a prescribed notice application or exemption notice application about a person had been made but not decided, withdrawn or taken to be withdrawn; or an exemption notice application about a person given, under an arrangement between the chief executive and the chief executive (working with children), to the chief executive (working with children) before the commencement is given to the chief executive after the commencement.
