9 Interim bar on applicant

Note.

Arrangements under the NDIS Act that allow an applicant for a clearance to do NDIS work while an application is pending will not allow this while an interim bar is in force.

(1) The Screening Agency may, at any time after receiving an application for a clearance and pending determination of the application, impose an interim bar on the applicant if of the opinion that there is a reasonable likelihood that a risk assessment will determine that the person poses a risk of harm to persons with disability.

(2) The Screening Agency imposes an interim bar by giving written notice of the interim bar to the applicant.

(3) The Screening Agency may give written notice of an interim bar to any person that the Screening Agency reasonably believes to be a notifiable person in relation to the applicant.

(4) An interim bar ceases to have effect—

(a) on notification in writing by the Screening Agency to the applicant that the interim bar is revoked, or

(b) if the application is granted or refused,

whichever occurs first.
