56GRegistration—grant or refusal

56G Registration—grant or refusal (1) If— (a) a person applies to the Minister under section 56F for registration to carry on a registrable public health risk activity; and (b) the person complies with that section; the Minister must register the person by giving the person a registration certificate unless subsection (2) or (3) applies. (2) The Minister must refuse to register the person if the person, or a defined influential person in relation to the person, has previously contravened this Act or a corresponding public health risk law, unless the Minister is satisfied on reasonable grounds that any similar contravention by the person, or a defined influential person in relation to the person, is not likely to recur. (3) The Minister must refuse to register the person if the registration of the person, or a defined influential person in relation to the person, to carry on the registrable public health risk activity (whether at the location or locations applied for, or elsewhere) has been cancelled during the previous year, or is under suspension at the time of the application.
