### sec.61 Becoming a service provider
A person may apply to the chief executive to be registered as the service provider for a registered service.
The application must—
be in the approved form; and
state whether the applicant proposes to become the service provider as well as, or instead of, the current service provider; and
identify any associates of the applicant; and
include a signed consent by the applicant and by each associate to a criminal history check; and
be signed by the applicant and by the current service provider; and
be accompanied by—
the application fee prescribed under a regulation; and
if, before or when the application is made, the chief executive requires the payment of costs under section 24A (1) —the amount of the costs required to be paid.
The applicant also must provide any other relevant information reasonably required by the chief executive to decide the application.
The chief executive must decide the application by registering, or refusing to register, the applicant as the service provider for the registered service.
The chief executive must register the applicant as the service provider if the chief executive is satisfied the applicant and each associate are suitable persons.
If the chief executive decides the application by registering the applicant as the service provider, the chief executive must give the applicant a notice of the decision, stating the day on which the registration has effect.
If the applicant and the current service provider have requested that the registration take effect on a stated day not later than 3 months after the application is made, and the application has been decided by that day, the notice under subsection (6) must state that day as the day on which the registration has effect.
A requirement mentioned in subsection (2) (f) (ii) is sufficiently made of the applicant if it is made generally of applicants in the approved form or notified on the department’s website.
