7  Conditions relating to provisional allocations of residential care places
 (1) The conditions specified in this section apply to an approved provider who holds a provisional allocation of residential care places (the places).
Note: An allocation of places to a person takes effect when the Secretary determines that the person is in a position to provide care, in respect of those places, for which subsidy may be paid. Before an allocation takes effect, it is a provisional allocation. (See section 15‑1 of the Act.)
 (2) During the first 3 years of the provisional allocation period, the approved provider must give annual reports about the approved provider's progress towards satisfying the Secretary that the approved provider is in a position to provide care, in respect of the places, for which residential care subsidy may be paid.
Note: The provisional allocation period is 4 years or, if that period is extended, the extended period (see section 15‑7 of the Act).
 (3) If an authorised person requests, in writing, the approved provider to give an additional report about the approved provider's progress towards being in a position to provide care, in respect of the places, for which residential care subsidy may be paid, the approved provider must comply with the request within 14 days of receiving it, or such longer period as is specified in the request.
Note: More than one request may be made under this subsection.
 (4) A report under subsection (2) or (3) must:
 (a) be in writing; and
 (b) be in a form approved by an authorised person; and
 (c) be given to the Department.
 (5) The approved provider must make timely progress towards being in a position to provide care, in respect of the places, for which residential care subsidy may be paid.
