11ARe‑instatement fee

##### 11A Re‑instatement fee (1) A provider is liable to pay a re‑instatement fee if: (a) the suspension of the registration of the provider is removed under subsection 10(4); or (b) the registration of the provider is restored under subsection 11(2). (2) The fee must be paid by the day specified in a notice given to the provider by the Secretary. (3) The day specified in the notice must be more than 28 days after the day the notice is given. (4) The amount of the re‑instatement fee is: (a) $100 for 1997; and (b) for a later year (the current year), the amount worked out by multiplying the re‑instatement fee for the year before the current year by the indexation factor that applies to the current year. (5) The indexation factor that applies to the current year is worked out using the following formula:  where: > index number, for a quarter, means the All Groups Consumer Price Index number that is the weighted average of the 8 capital cities and is published by the Australian Statistician for that quarter. > recent September quarter means the September quarter in the year before the current year. > previous September quarter means the September quarter before the recent September quarter. (6) The indexation factor worked out under subsection (5) must be rounded up or down to 3 places (rounding up in the case of exactly halfway between). (7) The amount worked out under subsection (5) must be rounded to the nearest whole dollar (rounding up in the case of 50 cents). (8) If at any time (whether before or after the commencement of this section) the Australian Statistician has changed or changes the reference base for the Consumer Price Index, then, for the purposes of applying this section after the change, only index numbers published in terms of the new reference base are to be used.
