Commonwealth Consolidated Acts Commonwealth Consolidated Acts(1) A person must not be required to pay a registration fee in the second State in relation to the person's automatic deemed registration to carry on an activity.
Note: The local registration authority must also not charge a fee in relation to notifying the authority that the person intends to rely on automatic deemed registration (see subsection 42J(3)).
(2) A registration fee is:
(a) a fee (however described) that is required to be paid before a person is registered, or to continue a person's registration (for example, on an anniversary of the person's registration); or
(b) a fee (however described) that is payable to a local registration authority for an occupation to generally support compliance activities by the local registration authority (or any other person) in relation to the person's automatic deemed registration, other than:
(i) a fine, penalty or legal costs; or
(ii) a fee that is payable for a specific and identifiable compliance action taken in relation to carrying on an activity;
but does not include a fee relating to public protection requirements or a vulnerable person character test.
Example: A fee (however described) that is charged to pay for an inspector to provide a certificate of compliance is not a registration fee as it is payable for a specific and identifiable compliance action taken in relation to carrying on an activity.
