Insert:

 (2E) For the purposes of paragraph (2)(b), the Secretary must not notify a person that the person is required to participate in an approved program of work for unemployment payment if:
 (a) because of the application of Module G of Payment Rate Calculator B in section 1068, the person is receiving a newstart allowance at a rate that has been reduced; or
 (b) in the Secretary's opinion:
 (i) it has been established that there is medical evidence that the person has an illness, disability or injury that would be aggravated by the conditions in which the work would be performed; or
 (ii) performing the work in the conditions in which the work would be performed would constitute a risk to health or safety or would contravene a law of the Commonwealth, a State or a Territory relating to occupational health and safety.

 (2F) If, after the Secretary has notified the person that the person is required to participate in an approved program of work for unemployment payment, the Secretary:
 (a) is satisfied that the person is a person to whom paragraph (2E)(a) applies; or
 (b) forms the opinion that subparagraph (2E)(b)(i) or (ii) applies in relation to the performance of that work by the person;
the Secretary may, by notice in writing given to the person, inform the person that the requirement to participate in the program is revoked and, upon his or her so doing, the requirement is taken to have been revoked with effect from the day of that notification.
