4  Exempt person
 (1) A person is an exempt person if:
 (a) the person has applied to the ACMA in writing for an exemption from completing an examination on the basis of the person's existing qualifications; and
 (b) the application is accompanied by the charge (if any) determined under section 60 of the Australian Communications and Media Authority Act 2005 in relation to such an application; and
 (c) the ACMA has, under subclause (2), given the person a written exemption from completing an examination.
 (2) If a person applies to the ACMA in writing for an exemption from completing an examination on the basis of the person's existing qualifications, the ACMA may:
 (a) give the person a written exemption from completing an examination; or
 (b) give the person a written exemption from completing a component of an examination; or
 (c) refuse to give the person a written exemption.
Note 1: If the ACMA gives a person a written exemption from completing a component of an examination, the person is not an exempt person, and will still need to comply with paragraph 2(1)(a) in relation to the remainder of the examination before applying for an ACMA recognition certificate.
Note 2: The ACMA may publish documents setting out its policy in relation to giving a written exemption under this clause as a recognition of a person's existing qualifications.
 (3) If the ACMA refuses to give a person a written exemption, the ACMA must notify the person in writing of the refusal and give a statement of reasons for the refusal.
 (4) Schedule 6 applies to a decision under subclause (2):
 (a) to give a person a written exemption from completing a component of an examination;
