11  Extension of time for considering applications
(1) If the National VET Regulator is satisfied that, for reasons beyond its control, a decision cannot be made within the 6 month period mentioned in paragraph 7(1)(c), 8(1)(c), 9(1)(c) or 10(1)(c), the Regulator may determine a longer period, of no more than 6 months, within which it must make a decision on an application.
(2) If the National VET Regulator determines a longer period, it must do so not later than 6 weeks before the expiry of the 6 month period mentioned in paragraph 7(1)(c), 8(1)(c), 9(1)(c) or 10(1)(c), whichever applies.
(3) If the National VET Regulator determines a longer period under subitem (1), the Regulator must, within 7 days of making the determination:
 (a) notify the organisation concerned, in writing, of the determination; and
 (b) give, in writing, the reasons for the determination.
(4) If:
 (a) a decision is not made within the 6 month period mentioned in paragraph 7(1)(c), 8(1)(c), 9(1)(c) or 10(1)(c) and the National VET Regulator does not determine a longer period; or
 (b) the Regulator determines a longer period but does not make a decision within that period;
the Regulator is taken to have granted the application.
(5) If the National VET Regulator is taken to have granted an application, as mentioned in subitem (4), the organisation to which the application relates is taken to have been registered (including by way of a renewal of registration), for 2 years beginning on the first day after the 6 month period.
(6) An inference that an organisation complies with the VET Quality Framework is not to be made only because the organisation is taken to have been registered as an NVR registered training organisation for the period mentioned in subitem (5).
