child or young person in the care of the approved carer is not being
adequately cared for; or
(b) the
approved carer has contravened a provision of this Act; or
(c) the
approved carer has refused or failed to comply with a condition of their
approval; or
(d) the
person is a prohibited person under the Child Safety (Prohibited Persons)

working with children check has not been conducted in relation to the person
within the preceding 5 years; or
(f) it
is otherwise appropriate that the approval be cancelled.
