- A standards assessment has commenced and has not yet been completed.
- An investigation into the affairs of the AHB has commenced and has not yet been completed.
- There are legal proceedings pending under the Act.
- The requirements set out in Section 57(3) of the Act are not met or the AHB’s proposals are not aligned to its funding terms and conditions (Section 57(6)(a)).
