Before the State may, under this part, recover from a person all or a part of the assistance granted to someone else, the scheme manager must give the person a notice stating—

(a) the date on which the assistance was granted; and
(b) the amount of the assistance granted and the conditions imposed on the grant; and
(c) the act of violence for which the assistance was granted; and
(d) whether the assistance was granted to a primary victim, secondary victim or related victim of the act of violence; and
(e) the offence of which the person has been convicted that the scheme manager claims is a relevant offence for the act of violence for which the assistance was granted; and
(f) the amount of the assistance, or the part of the assistance, the State seeks to recover from the person under this part; and
(g) that the person may—
(i) within 14 days after being given the notice, dispute a claim mentioned in paragraph (e) by giving the scheme manager notice of the dispute; and
(ii) if the person does not agree with the scheme manager’s decision given after considering the notice of the dispute—apply to QCAT for a review of the scheme manager’s decision; and
(h) that when the question of whether the offence of which the person has been convicted is a relevant offence for the act of violence for which the assistance was granted is no longer in dispute, the person is liable to pay the amount mentioned in paragraph (f) to the State under section 117 (4) ; and
(i) anything else prescribed under a regulation.
