Change of service provider or associate for a registered residential service

A service provider is the person operating the residential service. A change occurs when:

• the premises is sold and the service is continuing with a new service provider
• a new service provider joins with the current service provider
• there are a number of service providers and one is no longer involved in the operation of the residential service.

When there is a change, you need to:

• complete and sign an application to become a registered service provider of a currently registered residential service (change of service provider) (PDF, 391KB)
• pay a fee of $183.80
• complete a criminal history check and supply a National Police Certificate for each new service provider and any associates.

If you take over the operation of a residential service, officers from Regulatory Services will arrange to meet with you to review how you propose to manage the residential service.

Regulatory Services should be contacted if a service provider involved in the operation of the residential service dies.
