112Z: Director-General must consider exemption, waiver, or refund of fees

You could also call this:

"The boss must consider letting you off paying a fee or giving you a refund in some cases."

The Director-General must think about whether you should not have to pay a fee, or if you should get some of your money back, in certain situations. You might not have to pay the full fee if you are applying for more than one type of recognition, like being a recognised agency and a recognised person, under section 107. The Director-General can also consider this if you are renewing more than one type of recognition under section 112C, or if you have to pay a fee for ongoing recognition under more than one of sections 101 to 105. The Director-General can only do this if the rules say they can, as stated in section 121. You can find more information about how the Director-General makes these decisions by looking at the relevant rules and regulations.

112ZDirector-General must consider exemption, waiver, or refund of fees

The Director-General must consider whether an exemption, a waiver, or a refund of all or part of a prescribed fee, charge, or levy is appropriate if—
an application is made under section 107 by 1 person for more than 1 type of recognition (for example, if a person applies to be recognised as both a recognised agency and a recognised person); or
an application is made under section 112C by 1 person to renew more than 1 type of recognition; or
1 person is liable under section 112F to pay a prescribed fee, charge, or levy for ongoing recognition under more than 1 of sections 101 to 105.

However, subsection (1) only applies if regulations prescribing the relevant fee, charge, or levy authorise the Director-General to grant an exemption, waiver, or refund in these circumstances (see section 121).
