CHIROPRACTORS ACT 2001 - SECT 62

62 Duration of conditions-impairment matters

(1) This section applies if the Board imposes conditions on the registration of a registered chiropractor under section 54 and the matter is referred to an Impaired Registrants Panel.

(2) The conditions imposed by the Board have effect until:

(a) the complaint about the chiropractor is disposed of if the matter is subsequently dealt with by the Board as a complaint, or

(b) the conditions are removed by the Board,

whichever happens first.

(3) The Board is not required to alter or remove conditions imposed under this Division merely because a chiropractor agrees to the imposition of conditions on the chiropractor’s registration pursuant to the recommendations of an Impaired Registrants Panel (as referred to in section 71).

(4) A registered chiropractor who agrees to the imposition of conditions on the chiropractor’s registration pursuant to the recommendations of an Impaired Registrants Panel may, by notice in writing to the Board, request that the conditions imposed under this Division be removed or altered.

(5) On receipt of such a request, the Board is to review the matter, and may:

(a) refuse to remove or alter any of the conditions, or

(b) remove or alter the conditions.

(6) The Board is to give the chiropractor concerned notice in writing of its decision in respect of the request.

(7) The Board may specify in the notice a period in which a further request by the chiropractor under this section is not permitted. The Board may reject a request that the conditions be removed or altered if it is made during that period.

(8) This section:

(a) does not prevent conditions being imposed under another provision of this Act, and

(b) is subject to anything done by the Tribunal on an appeal under section 76.
