Part 4: Licensed Work

A determination that an individual qualifies for Licensed Work must specify—

the maximum costs which may be incurred in providing the services to which the determination relates (“the services”); and
any other limitations and conditions to which the determination is subject.

Where a limitation is exceeded or a condition is breached, the Director may—

withdraw the determination; or
amend the relevant limitation or condition.

If the requirements in paragraph (4) are met, the Director may specify that a determination has effect from a date earlier than the date of the determination.

The requirements are that—

the application for the services was made as soon as reasonably practicable;
the Director is satisfied that—
it was in the interests of justice for the services to be carried out prior to the date of the determination; and
the services could not have been carried out as Controlled Work; and
in the case of reconsidering a determination on review or following an appeal, having regard to all the circumstances, including the information that was available to the provider when the application for the services or the application for the review was made, the Director is satisfied that it is appropriate for the determination to have effect from the earlier date.

In paragraphs (3) and (4), “determination” includes a limitation or condition.
