67F Compliance with Act and regulations

(1) The Registrar may take action under this section if the Registrar reasonably believes that a registered community housing provider is not complying with this Act or the regulations.

(2) The Registrar may issue to a registered community housing provider a notice in writing (a "notice of non-compliance") identifying the matters required to be addressed in order to avoid cancellation of the provider’s registration and specifying a period of at least 30 days in which those matters are to be addressed.

(3) The Registrar may issue a "notice of intent to cancel registration" to a registered community housing provider if the Registrar is of the opinion that:

(a) the provider has not addressed the matters identified in a notice of non-compliance issued to the provider within the period specified in the notice of non-compliance, or

(b) the provider’s failure to comply with this Act or the regulations is serious and requires urgent action.

(4) A notice of intent to cancel registration is a notice in writing that identifies the matters that the Registrar considers warrant cancellation of the provider’s registration and states:

(a) that the provider’s registration will be cancelled unless, within the period specified in the notice (being a period of at least 14 days), the provider satisfies the Registrar that its registration should not be cancelled, or

(b) that the provider’s registration will be cancelled unless:

(i) within the period specified in the notice (being a period of at least 14 days), the provider appoints in accordance with section 67FA a person with qualifications of a kind specified in the notice as a special adviser to assist the provider to address those matters, and

(ii) within such further period specified in the notice, the provider reports to the Registrar on those matters and satisfies the Registrar that its registration should not be cancelled.

(5) Any period specified in a notice under this section may be extended in writing by the Registrar at the request of the community housing provider concerned if the Registrar is satisfied that there are good reasons for extending the period.
