Cancellation or suspension of registration

The NSW Electoral Commission may cancel or suspend the registration of a third-party lobbyist (or any individual so engaged) if:

• the third-party lobbyist (or an individual so engaged) contravenes the Lobbyists code or any lobbying laws

• the lobbyist (or an individual so engaged) ceases to be eligible to be registered in the Register of Third-party Lobbyists

• in the case of a third-party lobbyist, the lobbyist fails to update the information in the Register of Third-party Lobbyists when required to do so

• in the case of a third-party lobbyist, the lobbyist no longer carries on the business of lobbying, and/or 

• in the case of an individual engaged to undertake lobbying for a third-party lobbyist, the individual is no longer so engaged.

If a registered third-party lobbyist wishes to cancel their registration, the responsible officer of the lobbyist must send a written request to the lobbyist inbox.
 
The Lobbyist register includes the details of registered third-party lobbyists whose registration has been suspended or cancelled.
 
The registered details of a third-party lobbyist are retained on the register for two years after a registration has been cancelled.
