sec.88 Approved provider to give notice to parents of suspension or cancellation of service approval
This section applies if the chief executive gives a notice to an approved provider suspending or cancelling the provider’s service approval under section 78 , 79 or 84 . The approved provider must comply with this section, unless the provider has a reasonable excuse. Maximum penalty—5 penalty units. As soon as practicable after receiving the notice, the approved provider must give notice of the suspension or cancellation to a parent of each child to whom education and care is regularly provided in the course of the QEC approved service. A notice given under subsection (3) must include the reasons given in the chief executive’s notice for suspending or cancelling the approved provider’s service approval. Subsection (3) does not apply for a parent or carer who the provider can not locate after making reasonable enquiries. If an approved provider’s service approval is suspended, the provider must display a notice at the QEC service, for the period of the suspension, stating the approval has been suspended. If an approved provider’s service approval is cancelled, the provider must display a notice at the QEC service, until at least the day on which the cancellation takes effect, stating the approval has been cancelled. A regulation may make provision about a notice given or displayed under this section, including, for example— what the notice must state; and the size or other requirements of the writing on the notice.
