An approved provider holding a service approval may apply to the chief executive for an amendment of 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). 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 60 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; or any longer period agreed between the chief executive and the applicant. s 65 amd 2025 No. 24 s 39T (sec.65-ssec.1) An approved provider holding a service approval may apply to the chief executive for an amendment of the approval.
