Note     Application of the Mutual Recognition Act 1992

(Cwlth) and the
Trans-Tasman Mutual Recognition Act 1997

(Cwlth) (the Commonwealth Acts )

    The Commonwealth Acts allow people registered in certain occupations in a State, the ACT, Northern Territory or New Zealand (a local jurisdiction ) to carry on the occupations in another local jurisdiction and provide another way of applying for registration in the ACT or another local jurisdiction. Because of the Self-Government Act

, s 28, the requirements for registration under this Act cannot validly require anything of people being registered in accordance with the Commonwealth Acts that would be inconsistent with those Acts. Accordingly, provisions of this part, such as the requirements for applications, do not apply to the registration of people in accordance with the Commonwealth Acts. Also, the Commonwealth Acts set out when conditions may be placed on people registered in accordance with those Acts. For more information, see the Commonwealth Acts.
