Health Act 1956

Management of infectious diseases - Directions - General provisions concerning directions and notices

92S: Directions may be varied or rescinded

You could also call this:

"Rules can be changed or cancelled by a medical officer of health at any time."

A medical officer of health can change or cancel a direction they gave you earlier. They do this by sending you a notice that says what is changing. You will get to know about the change because they will tell you in the notice.

If a medical officer of health wants to vary or rescind a direction, they can do it at any time. They must send a notice to the person the direction was given to. This notice will let you know what is happening with the direction.
