61JI Variation of the National Self‑exclusion Register—nominated support person

New nominated support person (1) The Register rules may authorise the Register operator to vary a registered individual’s entry in the National Self‑exclusion Register by including: (a) a statement to the effect that another individual is a nominated support person of the registered individual; and (b) such information relating to the other individual as is prescribed by the Register rules. (2) If, as the result of a variation under Register rules made for the purposes of subsection (1), an individual (the relevant individual) becomes a nominated support person of a registered individual, the Register operator must: (a) notify the relevant individual that the relevant individual has become a nominated support person of the registered individual; and (b) do so as soon as practicable after the relevant individual becomes a nominated support person of the registered individual. Ceasing to be a nominated support person (3) The Register rules may authorise the Register operator to vary a registered individual’s entry in the National Self‑exclusion Register by deleting: (a) a statement relating to a nominated support person of the registered individual; and (b) any information relating to the nominated support person. (4) If, as the result of a variation under Register rules made for the purposes of subsection (3), an individual (the former nominated support person) ceases to be a nominated support person of a registered individual, the Register operator must: (a) notify the former nominated support person of the cessation; and (b) do so as soon as practicable after the cessation. Death of nominated support person (5) The Register rules may provide that, if: (a) a registered individual has a nominated support person; and (b) the Register operator becomes aware that the nominated support person has died; the Register operator must vary the registered individual’s entry in the National Self‑exclusion Register by deleting: (c) the statement relating to the nominated support person; and (d) any information relating to the nominated support person. Other matters (6) The Register operator must not vary a registered individual’s entry in the National Self‑exclusion Register if doing so would result in the registered individual having more than 5 nominated support persons. (7) This section does not, by implication, limit section 61JJ.
