722—High risk work—accreditation of assessors

        (1)         Registration of a person as an assessor under regulation 412 of the revoked regulations immediately before the relevant day will be taken to be accreditation of the person to conduct assessments under regulation 115 of these regulations.

        (2)         The following provisions apply in relation to an accreditation within the ambit of subregulation (1):

            (a)         Chapter 4 Part 5 Division 2 of these regulations will apply, subject to this regulation, to and in relation to the accreditation;

            (b)         any condition of the registration of the person in force under the revoked regulations immediately before the relevant day will be taken to be a condition imposed on the accreditation by the regulator;

            (c)         a certificate of the registration will be taken to be an accreditation document issued to the person by the regulator under regulation 123 of these regulations;

            (d)         the accreditation will expire—

                  (i)         in the case of an accreditation of a person who was not required to pay a registration fee or an annual fee because he or she was registered as an assessor under a law of another State, a Territory or the Commonwealth that corresponds to the provisions of Part 7 Division 4 of the revoked regulations—when his or her registration as an assessor expires (whether under that other law or under another law under which the registration (however described) was continued); and

                  (ii)         in any other case—

                        (A)         on the day on which the annual fee in relation to the registration would have first become due and payable following the relevant day under regulation 412(14) of the revoked regulations; or

                        (B)         12 months from the relevant day,

whichever occurs first.

        (3)         An application for registration as an assessor made under regulation 412 of the revoked regulations but not finally determined immediately before the relevant day is to be taken to be an application to the regulator for accreditation as an assessor under Chapter 4 Part 5 of these regulations and is to be dealt with accordingly.

        (4)         If an application within the ambit of subregulation (3) satisfies the requirements of regulation 412 of the revoked regulations, the application will be taken to satisfy the requirements of Chapter 4 Part 5 of these regulations.
