36   Administrative scheme for paying clean energy advances to approved care organisations

(1) A Minister administering the A New Tax System (Family Assistance) Act 1999 may, by legislative instrument, determine a scheme under which payments of clean energy advances may be made to approved care organisations (within the meaning of that Act) in particular circumstances. The Minister may, by legislative instrument, vary or revoke the scheme.

(2) The circumstances in which the scheme provides for payments must be circumstances occurring in relation to the period starting on 14 May 2012 and ending on 30 June 2013.

(3) Without limiting subitem (1), the scheme may deal with the following:

(a) the circumstances in which payments are to be made;

(b) the amount of the payments;

(c) what an approved care organisation has to do to get a payment;

(d) debt recovery;

(e) administrative matters, such as determination of entitlement and how and when payments will be made;

(f) the review of decisions made under the scheme (including internal review, review by the Social Security Appeals Tribunal or review by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal).

(4) For the purposes of subsection 12(1) of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003, an instrument made under subitem (1) (except an instrument of revocation) does not take effect until the end of the period in which it could be disallowed in either House of the Parliament.

(5) Payments under the scheme are to be made out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund, which is appropriated accordingly.
