10  Pending applications for renewal of registration—non‑referring States
(1) If:
 (a) a registered training organisation registered in a non‑referring State has applied to the relevant State VET Regulator for renewal of its registration; and
 (b) the State VET Regulator has not decided the application before commencement;
then:
 (c) the National VET Regulator must decide the application under the new law within 6 months after commencement; and
 (d) if the National VET Regulator decides to grant the application:
 (i) the Regulator must register the organisation as an NVR registered training organisation under section 17 of the new law; and
 (ii) the Regulator must notify the organisation of its decision in accordance with section 18 of the new law; and
 (e) if the National VET Regulator decides to reject the application—the Regulator must notify the organisation of its decision in accordance with section 18 of the new law.
Note: The National VET Regulator is taken to have granted the application if it does not make a decision within 6 months after commencement or a longer period determined under subitem 11(1), see subitem 11(4).
(2) To avoid doubt, if the National VET Regulator decides to grant the application, the Regulator may, in accordance with the new law, impose conditions on the NVR registered training organisation's registration.
(3) The registered training organisation is taken to be an NVR registered training organisation for the period:
 (a) beginning on commencement; and
 (b) ending:
 (i) on the day on which the National VET Regulator makes its decision; or
 (ii) if the Regulator determines a longer period under subitem 11(1)—on the last day of that period; or
 (iii) if the Regulator does not determine a longer period under subitem 11(1)—on the day that occurs 6 months after commencement;
  whichever occurs first.
Note: If subparagraph (3)(b)(iii) applies, the registered training organisation's registration will be taken to be renewed for 2 years, see subitem 11(5).
(4) An inference that a registered training organisation complies with the VET Quality Framework is not to be made only because the organisation is taken to be an NVR registered training organisation for the period mentioned in subitem (3).
