25A Application for service approval for a centre-based service--relocation of existing centre-based service

(1) This regulation applies if--

(a) an application for a service approval relates to a centre-based service that is an approved education and care service; and

(b) the purpose of the application is to change the location of that service.

Note : A service approval cannot be amended to change the location of a centre-based service--see section 54(8) of the Law.

(2) If the centre-based service is to be relocated for less than 12 months, the Regulatory Authority may determine that the requirements of regulation 25(1)(b) or (g) do not apply to the application for the service approval.

(3) If the centre-based service is to be relocated due to exceptional circumstances (whether for more or less than 12 months), the Regulatory Authority may determine that any of the following information is not required to be provided in the application for the service approval--

(a) the information set out in regulation 24(g);

(b) the contact details of the nominated supervisor set out in regulation 24(k);

(c) any of the information set out in regulation 25(1)(b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g).

(4) If the Regulatory Authority makes a determination under subregulation (3), the approved provider must provide the relevant information to the Regulatory Authority as soon as possible.

(5) A failure by the approved provider to provide the relevant information to the Regulatory Authority under subregulation (4) does not prevent the Regulatory Authority granting the service approval.

Note : The Education and Care Services National Regulations 2012 of Western Australia do not include regulation 25A.
