Additional and replacement cards

  (1)   Where a concession card or an entitlement card has been issued, an additional concession card or an additional entitlement card (as the case may be) may, in accordance with the regulations, be issued to a person who is a holder of the card.

  (2)   Without limiting the generality of subsection   (1), regulations made for the purposes of that subsection may provide for the issue of an additional card to a person:

  (a)   who is or was a holder of a concession card or an entitlement card that has been lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed; or

  (b)   who is a holder of a concession card or an entitlement card but whose particulars are not included on the card.

  (3)   Where:

  (a)   a person (in this subsection called the original card holder ) has been issued with a concession card, or an entitlement card, in respect of a relevant entitlement period; and

  (b)   a person (in this subsection referred to as the new family member ) becomes, after the issue of the card and during that period, a member of the original card holder's family;

a replacement concession card or a replacement entitlement card (as the case may be) may, in accordance with the regulations, be issued to the original card holder, being a card that includes particulars of the holders of the original card and of the new family member and, where such a replacement card is issued, each holder of the original card and the new family member shall be taken, from the time when the replacement card is issued, to be a holder of the replacement card.

  (4)   Regulations made for the purposes of subsection   (1) or (3) may provide for application to be made to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal for review of a decision of a person refusing to issue an additional card or a replacement card.
