 (2) Without limiting the generality of subsection (1), the standards must include:
 (a) standards relating to effectiveness, availability and cost that the person is required to meet and to maintain in the provision of rehabilitation services as an approved rehabilitation program provider; and
 (b) such other standards as Comcare considers appropriate concerning the operation of the person as an approved rehabilitation program provider.

 (3) Standards established under subsection (2), and any variation of those standards that is made from time to time, must be published in the Gazette.
