6               the Registrar is satisfied that special circumstances exist in relation to the child                                                                                                   on the day determined by the Registrar, being a day before the day the period would otherwise end if the special circumstances did not exist in relation to the child.

Beginning of later interim periods
 (2) If:
 (a) an interim period for the determination ends under item 2, 4 or 5 of the table in subsection (1) before the end of the maximum interim period for the determination; and
 (b) the person referred to in paragraph 51(1)(d) who has reduced care of the child is taking reasonable action to ensure that the care arrangement is complied with; and
 (c) the person (the second carer) who has increased care of the child ceases to take reasonable action to participate in family dispute resolution before the end of the maximum interim period;
then a further interim period for the determination begins on the day the second carer ceases to take such reasonable action.

When a person takes reasonable action to participate in family dispute resolution
 (3) A person who has increased care of a child takes reasonable action to participate in family dispute resolution if:
 (a) the person:
 (i) initiates and participates in family dispute resolution; or
 (ii) participates in family dispute resolution that was initiated by the person referred to in paragraph 51(1)(d) who has reduced care of the child; and
 (b) in relation to determining whether an interim period begins on the change of care day for the person—the person takes an action referred to in paragraph (a) within a reasonable period of that day.

Determinations made before the end of a maximum interim period
 (4) A determination under section 49 or 50 of a responsible person's percentage of care for a child does not have an interim period if the determination is made under that section before the end of the maximum interim period for another determination under either of those sections of the responsible person's percentage of care for the child (see sections 54FA and 54HA).
