  (2)   The application must:

  (a)   contain the information, in relation to the proposed compensation arrangements, required by regulations made for the purposes of this paragraph and be accompanied by a copy of the proposed compensation rules; and

  (b)   be made to the Minister by lodging the application with ASIC in a prescribed form.

Note:   For fees in respect of lodging applications, see Part   9.10.

  (3)   If the Minister does not consider that the proposed compensation arrangements are adequate, the application for approval must be rejected.

  (4)   If the Minister considers that the proposed compensation arrangements are adequate, the Minister must:

  (a)   approve the compensation arrangements in writing; and

  (b)   vary the conditions of the operator's licence so as to:

  (i)   deal with the minimum amount of cover required in relation to the compensation arrangements in such manner as the Minister thinks appropriate; and

  (ii)   identify the source of funds available to cover claims, on the basis of which the Minister approves the arrangements (see section   885H).
