The day on which the period during which the care recipient was provided with the respite care ends.                                                     No reappraisal period.

Note: If a classification has an expiry date but no reappraisal period, the classification cannot be renewed (see subsection 27‑6(1)).

Reappraisal period deferred if care recipient on leave
 (2) If:
 (a) the *expiry date for the classification occurs:
 (i) while the care recipient is on *leave (other than *extended hospital leave) from a residential care service; or
 (ii) within one month after the residential care service began providing residential care to the care recipient after that leave ended; and
 (b) the classification does not have that expiry date because of item 6 of the table in subsection (1);
then, despite subsection (1), the reappraisal period for the classification is the period of 2 months beginning on the day on which the residential care service began providing residential care to the care recipient after that leave ended.

If more than one expiry date applies
 (3) If:
 (a) a classification has an *expiry date (the first expiry date) because a particular circumstance specified in the table in subsection (1) applies in relation to the care recipient; and
 (b) another circumstance specified in that table starts to apply in relation to the care recipient before the first expiry date;
then, subject to subsection (4):
 (c) the first expiry date ceases to apply in relation to the classification; and
 (d) the expiry date for the other circumstance applies in relation to the classification.
 (4) If the other circumstance is that specified in item 6 of the table:
 (a) the first expiry date continues to apply in relation to the classification, unless the relevant notice under section 27‑3 is given before the start of the reappraisal period for the first expiry date; and
 (b) the *expiry date for the circumstance specified in item 6 of the table does not apply.

If reappraisal made at initiative of approved provider before expiry date
 (5) If:
 (a) a classification has an *expiry date because a particular circumstance specified in the table in subsection (1) applies in relation to the care recipient; and
 (b) before the start of the reappraisal period for that expiry date, the Secretary receives a reappraisal of the level of care needed by the care recipient made under section 27‑4;
that expiry date ceases to apply in relation to the classification.

Classification Principles may specify different expiry date or reappraisal period
 (6) The Classification Principles may specify that:
 (a) a different *expiry date applies in relation to a classification to that provided for under this section; or
 (b) a different reappraisal
