115A     Short-term registration—Act, s 37 (5) (b)

    (1)     On application by an individual under section 112, the executive officer of a health profession board may, on behalf of the board, register the individual if satisfied that—

        (a)     if the board were to consider the individual's application, it would—

              (i)     register the individual unconditionally; or

              (ii)     register the individual conditionally because the person would be entitled to apply for unconditional registration if a degree or award to which the person is entitled had been conferred or granted by the institution concerned; and

        (b)     it is appropriate to conditionally register the person because the board will not meet to consider the application soon.

    (2)     Registration under this section is subject to—

        (a)     the condition that it ends on the earlier of—

              (i)     the day the health profession board decides the application for registration; or

              (ii)     the day 3 months after the day the executive officer registers the individual under this section; and

        (b)     any other condition the executive officer considers appropriate.

    (3)     However, if the health profession board decides to register the individual, the registration is taken to have started on the day the executive officer of the board conditionally registered the individual.
