If you do something against the Residential Care and Disability Support Services Act 2018, there is a time limit for when you can be charged. This time limit ends 12 months after the person in charge of administering this Act finds out what you are alleged to have done. You should know that this time limit overrides what is stated in section 25 of the Criminal Procedure Act 2011. This means that the rules about the time limit for charging you are different for this Act than for other laws.
