The Minister can ask an approved service delivery organisation to give them information about their business. You need to know this information is used to check if the organisation is following the rules made under section 296ZA and section 296Q. The organisation must give the Minister the information they ask for. If the organisation does not give the Minister the information, or gives false information, they can get in trouble. You should look at section 252(3) and section 252(1) to see what penalties they might face. The Minister can change or cancel their request for information at any time. The organisation must tell the truth when giving information to the Minister. If they leave out important details or give false information, they are breaking the law. The Minister's requests for information help them make sure the organisation is doing its job properly.
