112P: Method of withdrawal of recognition

You could also call this:

"What happens when the government takes away an organisation's or person's special approval"

If the Director-General decides to withdraw recognition from an agency, person, or class, they must notify them as soon as possible. You will be told if you are an agency or person who has lost recognition. The Director-General must also tell you why your recognition was withdrawn, when it ends, and what activities it affects.

The Director-General can notify you of the withdrawal in writing, and they might also publish it in the Gazette. If you are part of a class, the Director-General will notify you according to the rules set out in section 112W. You might also be told about your right to review the decision to withdraw your recognition, as stated in section 162.

If your recognition is withdrawn, you must return your notice of recognition to the Director-General and tell your clients that your recognition has ended. This applies to you if you were recognised under sections 101 to 104. You must take reasonable steps to notify your clients as soon as possible after your recognition is withdrawn.
