Section 1 to Section 3
Questions 1.1 to 3.2
Explanatory Note
If there are more than 3 conditions that you would like to apply to have removed, include an attachment that addresses the same questions for those other conditions.
You can only apply to remove a condition that was imposed under section 143 of the Aged Care Act 2024. These are conditions that are imposed based on a decision made by the Commission and not conditions of registration that automatically apply to you under the Aged Care Act 2024.
Your response to these questions helps us to understand why you would like a condition of your registration to be removed and whether the removal is appropriate in all the circumstances.
We ordinarily impose a condition on a provider’s registration to assist with the management of risks, harms or issues in the delivery of aged care services. Accordingly, we will consider the circumstances around such risks, harms or issues before deciding to remove or not remove a condition.
Evidence
When stating the condition that you are applying to have removed, use the exact same words used in the Provider Register as published on our website. This helps us to identify the correct condition.
Your reasons for the removal of the condition should relate directly to the condition and why it was imposed. This may include:
-
changes to the circumstances around the issues the condition was designed to address (e.g., an elimination in risks, harms or issues related to the condition)
-
what action you have taken to comply with the condition and the effect this has had (e.g., full and sustained compliance with additional reporting requirements which improved transparency)
-
an assessment showing that removing the condition is more proportionate to current circumstances around risks, harms and issues than keeping it
-
any other relevant information.
You may include attachments to support your response (e.g., audit and external review documents).
