Australian Capital Territory Numbered Regulations

HEALTH PROFESSIONALS REGULATIONS 2004 (NO 41 OF 2004) - REG 117

    (1)     It is in the public interest to register a person conditionally if—

        (a)     the person would be entitled to apply for unconditional registration if the person had completed a period of supervised training (which may include internship) that the person has started; or

        (b)     the person's registration in a local jurisdiction is subject to a condition; or

        (c)     the person is a graduate from an institution other than an institution approved by a national organisation that represents the health profession, and registration would allow the person to undertake postgraduate training that the board considers suitable for the person; or

        (d)     the person is a candidate for an examination required under the Act and the health profession board has approved the person to undertake a period of supervised training to help the person become unconditionally registered; or

        (e)     the person wishes to take up a teaching or research position; or

        (f)     the person is approved by the board to fill a position that is in an area of unmet need; or

        (g)     the person is not trained in a local jurisdiction and, if registered, the person could undertake additional training before the person is examined or assessed in the ACT or a local jurisdiction; or

        (h)     the person's general competence or competence to practise the profession is limited and conditional registration is required in the public interest.

    (2)     This regulation does not limit when it is in the public interest to register a person conditionally.

Note     A person may only be registered for up to 1 year at a time (see reg 120), so a condition will only last for a maximum of 1 year, unless renewed.
