When stating the condition that you are applying to have varied, use the exact same words used in the Provider Register as published on our website. This helps us to identify the correct condition.

When stating how you would like the condition to be varied, be clear on how this differs from the original condition and how the varied condition should be described. For example, if the condition states that you can only provide: 

• services in 2 local government areas, you can request a specific local government area(s) to be added 

• 2 service types within Category 4, you can request for a specific service type(s) to be added.

Your reasons for the variation should relate directly to the original condition and why it was imposed. This may include:

• changes to the circumstances around the issues the original condition was designed to address (e.g., a significant reduction in risks, harms or issues related to the condition)

• what action you have taken to comply with the original condition and the effect this has had (e.g., substantial and sustained compliance with additional reporting requirements which improved transparency) 

• an assessment showing that the condition as varied is more proportionate to current circumstances around risks, harms or issues than the original condition

• any other relevant information.

You may include attachments to support your response (e.g., audit and external review documents).
