112K: Director-General may extend suspension of recognition

You could also call this:

"The boss can make a suspension last longer if rules aren't being followed."

The Director-General can extend the suspension period if they think the conditions or corrective actions have not been met. You will know if this happens because the Director-General will tell you in writing. The extension can be for any further period, but it cannot be more than three months.

The Director-General can also add more conditions that you must meet before the suspension is lifted. They can require you to take action to fix the problem that caused the suspension. This is in addition to any conditions or requirements already imposed under section 112J.

The Director-General has to notify you of the extension before the original suspension period ends, and they can do this by telling you directly or by notifying a whole class of people in accordance with section 112W.
