NATIONAL REDRESS SCHEME FOR INSTITUTIONAL CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE ACT 2018 - SECT 138

Ceasing to be the representative for a participating group of non - government institutions

  (1)   The Minister may, by notifiable instrument, revoke a declaration made under subsection   137(1) in relation to a representative for a participating group.

  (2)   The Minister must, by notifiable instrument, revoke a declaration made under subsection   137(1) if:

  (a)   the representative; or

  (b)   each of the members of the group (other than the representative, if the representative is a member);

requests the Minister in writing to revoke the declaration.

Note:   If a participating group of non - government institutions does not have a representative, then the Minister must revoke the declaration made under subsection   134(1) that the group is a participating group (see subsection   135(3)).

  (3)   Despite subsections   (1) and (2), the Minister must not revoke a declaration made under subsection   137(1) unless any requirements prescribed by the rules in relation to the revocation are satisfied.

  (4)   If:

  (a)   the Minister revokes a declaration made under subsection   115(2) in relation to a participating institution that is a member of a participating group immediately before the revocation; but

  (b)   because of subsection   116(7), the institution continues to be a participating institution in relation to a person who made an application for redress before the revocation;

then the representative for the participating group continues to be the representative for the group in relation to the person, as if the institution were still a member of the group.
