7.1.3 Participating lone institutions
Summary
For the purposes of the Scheme, a participating lone institution is an institution (either incorporated or unincorporated) that is participating in the Scheme.
An institution that is a lone institution is:
- a non-government institution
- not a member of a participating group, and
- not defunct.
Lone institutions that are incorporated, may choose to appoint a representative who is declared by notifiable instrument in Parliament, by the Minister. An unincorporated lone institution must have a representative declared by the Minister.
If a lone institution has a representative, the representative can receive all notices under the Scheme on behalf of the lone institution.
