18QC Taking disciplinary action

(1) If, after consideration of any submissions made by the licensee within the period allowed, the Secretary is satisfied that grounds for disciplinary action against a licensee have been established, the Secretary may: (a) reprimand the licensee; or (b) impose a condition on the licence; or (c) suspend the licence for up to 12 months; or (d) act under any combination of 2 or more of paragraphs (a), (b) and (c); or (e) cancel the licence and disqualify the former licensee permanently or for a specified period from holding a licence. (2) The Secretary may take the disciplinary action by written notice given to the licensee. (3) That notice takes effect: (a) at the end of the period for lodging an application for a review of the decision by the Administrative Review Tribunal; and (b) if such an application has been made within that period—when the application is withdrawn or finally determined, unless the Administrative Review Tribunal orders otherwise.
