Commonwealth Consolidated Acts

NATIONAL VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING REGULATOR ACT 2011 - SECT 20

  (1)   An applicant's registration:

  (a)   commences:

  (i)   if it is a renewal of registration--in accordance with paragraph   31(3B)(b); or

  (ii)   in any other case--on the day specified in a written notice given to the applicant; and

  (b)   subject to subsections   (2) and 31(3) and paragraph   36(2)(c), expires at the end of the period determined by the National VET Regulator, unless the applicant's registration is cancelled or withdrawn before that time.

Note:   Subsection   31(3) provides for a registration to continue in force if a decision is not made on a renewal application until after the registration would otherwise expire. Paragraph   36(2)(c) allows the National VET Regulator to shorten the period of a registration, as a sanction.

  (2)   The National VET Regulator may, in exceptional circumstances, extend an NVR registered training organisation's registration without the organisation needing to apply to have its registration renewed.

  (3)   If an NVR registered training organisation's registration is so extended, a reference in this Act to the period of an NVR registered training organisation's registration is to be read as a reference to that period as so extended.
