87  Comcare may waive debt

 (1) Comcare may decide, in writing, to waive its right to recover from a person the whole or a part of a debt due to the Commonwealth under this instrument.

 (2) A decision of Comcare under subsection (1) takes effect:

 (a) if no day is set out in the decision—on the day on which the decision is made; or

 (b) if a day is set out in the decision—on the day so set out (whether that day is before, on, or after the day on which the decision is made).

Note: If Comcare waives its rights to recover, this is a permanent bar to recovery of the debt—the debt effectively ceases to exist.
