Application outcomes

PHECC conducts detailed reviews of all applications and supporting documentation. If required, additional information will be sought. The application process can take up to 12 weeks following receipt of a complete application. Every application will be assessed by an assessor appointed by Council and a report will be prepared. If deficits in the application are found these will be shared with you. You may respond to the deficits by submitting additional information after which the application will be reviewed one final time.  The Director on behalf of Council will next review the application, the assessor report and make a decision- successful or unsuccessful. Unsuccessful applicants will be informed, relevant feedback will be provided. Unsuccessful applications will be retained by PHECC for 1 month only, after which they will be deleted from PHECC’s database. Any subsequent application will warrant full payment of fees.
