  (b)   the Operator has made a determination to approve the application under section   29 (the current determination ); and

  (c)   the person has been given an offer of redress and the person has accepted or declined the offer; and

  (d)   the Operator has reasonable grounds to believe that an institution identified in the application, or in the course of dealing with the application, may be connected with abuse of the person; and

  (e)   at the time the current determination was made, the institution was not a participating institution or listed for a participating jurisdiction under section   164, 164A, 164B or 164C; and

  (f)   at a later time, the institution becomes a participating institution or is listed for a participating jurisdiction under section   164, 164A, 164B or 164C .

Note:   Generally, when the institution becomes a participating institution or is listed for a participating jurisdiction under section   164, 164A, 164B or 164C, the Operator will invite the person to agree to have the Operator reassess the determination (see section   71S).
