Illustration for Social Workers Registration Act 2003

If you have to pay costs or expenses because of a decision made under section 83(1)(e), you have to pay them to the Health and Disability Commissioner. The Health and Disability Commissioner can recover these costs as a debt. You can find more information about this in section 83(1)(e).

If you have to pay other fines, costs, or expenses because of a decision made under section 83(1), you have to pay them to the Board. The Board can recover these as a debt. This is how the Board gets the money it is owed.
