DENTAL PRACTICE ACT 2001 - SECT 25

25 Provisional registration

(1) Registration as a dental auxiliary may be granted:

(a) to a person entitled to full registration, pending the Board’s determination of the person’s application for full registration, or

(b) to a person who will be entitled to full registration when a degree, diploma, certificate or other academic award to which the person is entitled is granted or conferred, pending its grant or conferral.

(2) Registration under this section is "provisional registration".

(3) Provisional registration is granted by the Board or the President. In the President’s absence it can be granted by any member of the Board authorised by the Board to do so. Provisional registration is granted by the grant of a certificate of provisional registration.

(4) A person granted provisional registration is a registered dental auxiliary until the registration expires or is cancelled. Provisional registration expires on the date stated in the certificate or such later date as may be fixed by the Board.

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

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

(7) If a person granted provisional registration is granted full registration before the person’s provisional registration expires, the person’s full registration dates from the granting of provisional registration, unless the Board decides otherwise.
