Australian Capital Territory Numbered Acts

VETERINARY SURGEONS ACT 2015 (NO. 29 OF 2015) - SECT 18

    (1)     On application by a person under section 13, the executive officer may, on behalf of the board, register the person if satisfied that—

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

              (i)     register the person unconditionally; or

              (ii)     register the person 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 board decides the application for registration; or

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

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

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