sec.21 Amendment of provider approval on application

An approved provider may apply to the chief executive for an amendment of the provider’s provider approval, including an amendment to remove a person from, or add a person to, the approval. The application must be in the approved form and accompanied by any fee prescribed under a regulation. The applicant also must provide any other relevant information reasonably required by the chief executive to decide the application. The chief executive must decide the application by— amending the approval in the way applied for; or with the applicant’s written agreement, amending the approval in another way; or refusing to amend the approval. See section 211 (Reviewable decisions). However, if an application under this section is to add a person to a provider approval, the chief executive may grant the approval only if the chief executive is satisfied the person is a suitable person to operate a QEC service having regard to the matters stated in section 15 . Also, without limiting subsection (4) , an amendment may vary a condition of the approval or impose a new condition on the approval. If the chief executive does not decide the application within the required period after receiving the application and fee, the application is taken to have been refused. In this section— required period , for deciding an application, means the period of 30 days— starting the day after the application and fee are given to the chief executive; but if the chief executive asks for information under subsection (3) —not including the period starting the day after the chief executive asks for the information until the day the applicant gives the information to the chief executive.
