14C Approval statement—conditions (1) An approval statement issued for a child is subject to a condition that— (a) the child’s participation is full-time participation unless otherwise stated in the statement; or (b) if the statement contains a statement mentioned in section 14B (d)—the child must comply with the stated participation requirement. (2) An approval statement that approves a child’s participation in a training alternative is also subject to each of the following conditions: (a) that the child is enrolled with the training alternative provider; (b) that the child complies with the training alternative provider’s attendance requirements. (3) The training alternative provider’s attendance requirements are the requirements about physically attending, at particular times, the provider’s premises or another place.
Approval to participate in training and employment alternatives Division 2.4.2 (4) The director-general may issue an approval statement subject to any condition that the director-general believes on reasonable grounds is appropriate. Example—s (4) Farouk wants to participate part-time in an education course and part-time in an employment alternative (he wants to work at least 10 hours each week). Under this Act, an approval statement is not required for an education course, but is for an employment alternative. The director-general issues an approval statement for the employment alternative that states that Farouk’s approved participation in that employment is part-time, and that he must participate in that employment for at least 10 hours each week. The director-general also puts a condition on the approval statement that Farouk must participate in the education course for at least 15 hours each week.
