(4) A person granted a certificate of conditional registration shall, while it remains in force, be deemed to be registered under this Act as a chiropractor and osteopath and this Act shall apply to and with respect to the person accordingly. (5) A certificate of conditional registration shall be granted for a period of 12 months, which period shall not be extended. (6) The board may at any time, without taking disciplinary proceedings under the Health Practitioners (Professional Standards) Act 1999 , order the registrar to cancel a certificate of conditional registration issued to any person who shall thereupon cease to be deemed to be registered as a chiropractor and osteopath. ˙ Board may impose conditions 19A.(1) The board may subject a grant of registration or conditional registration to such conditions as it thinks fit and may at any time revoke or amend the conditions.

(3) The board may at any time by notice in writing call upon a person registered under this section to show cause at a place, date and time specified by the board in such notice why the person’s name should not be erased from the register.

s 22 16 s 23 Chiropractors and Osteopaths Act 1979 certificate in the approved form of provisional registration as a chiropractor and osteopath. (2) A person who has been granted a certificate of provisional registration as a chiropractor and osteopath shall be deemed to be registered under this Act as a chiropractor and osteopath and this Act shall apply to and with respect to that person accordingly— (a) until the date stated in such certificate; or (b) until such later date as may be fixed by the board; which stated date or later date (if any) fixed by the board shall not in any case be later than 6 months from the granting of such certificate. (2A) However, the board may at any time before the date so stated or fixed, without taking disciplinary proceedings under the Health Practitioners (Professional Standards) Act 1999 , direct the registrar to cancel such certificate and such person shall thereupon cease to be deemed to be registered as a chiropractor and osteopath and such cancellation shall, for the purposes of this Act, be deemed to be a refusal by the board of the application by that person to be registered or, as the case may be, conditionally registered as a chiropractor and osteopath. (3) If a person to whom a certificate of provisional registration has been granted becomes registered or, as the case may be, conditionally registered as a chiropractor and osteopath while that certificate is still in force the person’s registration shall, unless otherwise decided by the board, date from the granting of that certificate. ˙ Certificate of registration 22.(1) Every chiropractor and osteopath shall be entitled to obtain from the registrar a certificate of his or her registration in the approved form.

(2) If a chiropractor and osteopath fails to pay the annual licence fee within the period as provided in subsection (1A), the registrar shall thereupon remove his or her name from the register. (3) If the name of any person has been removed from the register pursuant to subsection (2) or section 24(1)(a) the board shall, subject to this Act, upon application by that person direct the registrar to restore the person’s name to the register upon payment of the annual licence fee and such restoration fee as may be prescribed. ˙ Removal of name from register 24. The board may instruct the registrar to remove from the register the name of a chiropractor and osteopath— (a) who applies in writing to have his or her name removed therefrom; (b) whose name has at any time been ordered to be erased absolutely or for a limited period from a register of chiropractors and osteopaths maintained under that or any other name by any other registration authority and whose name at the material time has not been restored to that register; (c) whose name erroneously remains on the register or has been erroneously entered in the register. ˙ Obligation on members of associations of persons 25A.(1) Each member of an association of persons engaged in the practice of chiropractic and osteopathy must ensure that appropriate procedures are in place to ensure that a person who is an agent, employee or

s 26 18 s 28 Chiropractors and Osteopaths Act 1979 member of the association does not engage in unsatisfactory professional conduct in the course of the person’s agency, employment or membership. Maximum penalty—20 penalty units.
