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.
