A health professional's authorisation under the Act to deal with a medicine is subject to any condition or other restriction to which the health professional is subject under the Health Professionals Act 2004 .
Example
Section 31 places conditions on the prescribing of medicines by a health professional authorised to prescribe the medicines. If a particular health professional's registration under the Health Professionals Act 2004 is subject to the condition or restriction that the person may not prescribe certain medicines, the health professional's authorisation under the Medicines, Poisons and Therapeutic Goods Act 2008 to prescribe medicines is also subject to that condition or restriction.
Note 1 A reference to an Act includes a reference to the statutory instruments made or in force under the Act, including any regulation (see Legislation Act, s 104).
Note 2 An example is part of the regulation, is not exhaustive
and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it
appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132).
