In this Notice

APRA means the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority.

insurance business has the meaning given in section 3 of the Act.

Note 1

Under subsection 16(2) of the Act, if APRA revokes a general insurer’s authorisation, APRA must

give written notice to the insurer and ensure that notice of the revocation is published in the Gazette. By virtue

of subsection 16(3) of the Act, a revocation is not invalid merely because of a failure to comply with subsection 16(2) of the Act.

Note 2

Under section 16A of the Act, the notice of revocation of the authorisation may state that the

authorisation continues in effect in relation to a specified matter or specified period, as though the revocation had not happened, for the purposes of a specified provision of the Act or the regulations, or a specified provision of another law of the Commonwealth that is administered by APRA, or a specified provision of the prudential standards, and the statement has effect accordingly.
