13 Temporary registration

(1) Registration for a limited period as a dentist may be granted to a person who is not normally resident in New South Wales, for the purpose of enabling the person to carry out educational or research activities or such other activities as the Board considers to be in the public interest.

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

(3) Temporary registration as a dentist can only be granted to a person:

(a) who is registered as a dentist in accordance with a law in force in the person’s normal place of residence providing for the registration or certification of dentists, or

(b) who holds such qualifications or has such experience in the practice of dentistry as the Board considers satisfactory for the purposes of temporary registration.

(4) Temporary registration is granted by the Board by the grant of a certificate of temporary registration.

(5) A person granted temporary registration is a registered dentist until the temporary registration expires or is cancelled. Temporary registration expires on the date stated in the certificate unless the period of temporary registration is extended.

(6) The Board may extend and further extend a period of temporary registration by the issue of a further certificate of temporary registration.

(7) The Board may cancel a person’s temporary registration for any reason that the Board considers proper. Cancellation does not affect any application for full registration by the person.

(8) The Board may impose such conditions as it thinks fit on the temporary registration of a person and may at any time remove, add to or vary those conditions by notice in writing to the registered person.
