New South Wales Consolidated Acts

DENTAL PRACTICE ACT 2001 - SECT 11

11 Full registration

(1) A person is entitled to registration as a dentist if the Board is satisfied that the person has the necessary qualifications for registration as a dentist and is of good character.

(2) Registration under this section is "full registration" as a dentist.

(3) An entitlement to full registration does not prevent conditions being imposed on that registration in accordance with this Act.

(4) Schedule 1 (Registration procedures) has effect with respect to full registration.

Note: Under section 20 of the Mutual Recognition Act 1992 of the Commonwealth a person is entitled to be registered as a dentist if the person is registered in another State or a Territory for an equivalent occupation (if that State or Territory participates in the mutual recognition scheme). The entitlement arises once the person lodges a notice under section 19 of that Act and, until registered under this Act, the person is then deemed (by section 25 of that Act) to be registered. See also the Trans-Tasman Mutual Recognition Act 1997 of the Commonwealth.
