            <content>
              <p>This Schedule is about the registration of persons to engage in credit activities. Registration is a transitional authorisation to engage in credit activities. It applies in the period before all persons who engage in credit activities are required to be licensed under Chapter 2 of the National Credit Act.</p>
              <p>Regulations made under <ref href="#sec-6">section 6</ref> may also deal with transitional matters relating to the registration of persons to engage in credit activities. Those regulations may provide for matters in addition to those provided in this Schedule and they may modify how this Schedule applies.</p>
              <p>This Part deals with how certain provisions of <ref href="#part-1">Part 1</ref>-2 (which deals with definitions) of the National Credit Act apply in relation to this Schedule.</p>
              <p>Divisions 1 and 2 of <ref href="#part-2">Part 2</ref> set out requirements that apply to persons who engage in credit activities during particular transitional periods.</p>
              <p><ref href="#dvs-3">Division 3</ref> of <ref href="#part-2">Part 2</ref> deals with how the requirements in <ref href="#dvs-3">Division 3</ref> of <ref href="#part-2">Part 2</ref>-1 (which deals with certain requirements in relation to credit activities) of the National Credit Act apply in relation to registered persons.</p>
              <p><ref href="#part-3">Part 3</ref> deals with how a person becomes registered, the conditions on registration, the obligations of a registered person, and the suspension and cancellation of registration.</p>
              <p><ref href="#part-4">Part 4</ref> deals with how other provisions of the National Credit Act apply in relation to registered persons. These provisions include <ref href="#part-2">Part 2</ref>-3 (which deals with credit representatives and other representatives), <ref href="#part-2">Part 2</ref>-4 (which deals with banning and disqualification) and Divisions 2 and 4 of <ref href="#part-2">Part 2</ref>-5 (which deal with financial records and auditors) of the National Credit Act.</p>
              <p><ref href="#part-5">Part 5</ref> deals with exemptions from, and modifications of, certain provisions of this Schedule.</p>
              <p><ref href="#part-6">Part 6</ref> allows regulations to provide for infringement notices in relation to the civil penalty provisions and offences in this Schedule.</p>
