A registered provider may want us to revoke their registration. If we revoke your registration, this ends your registration. This means you can no longer provide Australian Government-funded aged care services. 

You must request revocation before you stop providing services as a registered provider and exit the market. 

You also need to consider how this will affect the people using your service. You need to show that you’ve made plans so you don’t cause risk or harm to older people by stopping your services. 

If registered in category 6, you must show that you’ll:

• find suitable accommodation for older people currently in your care to move into. The new accommodation must meet their needs and preferences
• have enough cash to refund all refundable deposits of people currently in your care. 

When we consider your request to revoke your registration, we’ll look at these plans. We need to make sure your exit from the market doesn’t negatively affect older people. 

If we refuse to revoke a registration, this is a reviewable decision. You can apply for us to reconsider a reviewable decision. 

If your registration ends, we’ll update the Provider Register to reflect this.
