 (a) at a particular time (the transition time), the provider is approved under section 70 of the Act to provide early intervention supports for early childhood to a participant; and

Note 1: For the meaning of host jurisdiction and participating jurisdiction, see sections 10 and 10A of the Act.
Note 2: The provider will be deemed to be a registered NDIS provider in accordance with the National Disability Insurance Scheme (Quality and Safeguards Commission and Other Measures) Transitional Rules 2018.
 (2) Despite sections 20 and 22, to remain registered to provide the supports during the transition period for the provider, the provider must comply with the standards specified in:
 (a) if the provider is an individual or a partnership—clause 7 of Schedule 1; or
 (b) otherwise—clauses 2 to 7, 14, 15, 20 and 24 of Schedule 1.
 (3) For the purposes of subsection (2), the transition period for the provider:
 (a) starts at the transition time; and
 (b) ends at the earliest of the following:
 (i) if the Commissioner gives a written notice to the provider that this subsection no longer applies to the provider—the day specified in the notice (which must be at least 14 days after the notice is given);
 (ii) if the provider makes an application under section 73C of the Act and the Commissioner makes a decision under section 73E of the Act to register, or not to register, the provider as a registered NDIS provider—the day after the day the decision is made;
 (iii) if the registration of the provider is revoked under section 73P of the Act—at the start of the day the revocation takes effect;
 (iv) unless section 73K of the Act applies—the expiry of the period specified for the purposes of paragraph 73E(5)(e) of the Act.
