(1) This section applies to a person listed in the suitable adoptive parents register.

(b) because of the time that has passed since the person’s assessment, the chief executive considers it would be appropriate to re-assess the person; or

(c) the re-assessment is required to meet the requirements for an intercountry adoption from a country to which the person’s current expression of interest relates; or

(d) the chief executive is considering selecting the person under part 7 as a child’s prospective adoptive parent but considers it would be appropriate to first assess the person’s suitability to be an adoptive parent of a child with particular characteristics.
