The following persons are ineligible for appointment—
a corporation;
a child;
an officer or employee of the department;
a person who is bankrupt or, as a debtor, taking advantage of a law about bankrupt or insolvent debtors;
a person who has been convicted within the previous 5 years of a disqualifying offence.
A person who has agreed to a proposed appointment must advise QCAT, before QCAT makes an order appointing the person—
whether the person is aware of a conflict of interest that may arise in the course of the person acting as administrator; and
whether the person is a person mentioned in subsection (2) (b) to (d) ; and
whether the person has a criminal history and, if so, what the criminal history is.
Maximum penalty—

The person must give the advice by statutory declaration or on oath or affirmation if required by QCAT.
