VETERINARY PRACTICE ACT 2003 - SECT 59

59 Publicising disciplinary action

(1) The Board may publicise disciplinary action taken against a veterinary practitioner in any manner the Board thinks fit.

(2) However, the Board must publicise disciplinary action taken against a veterinary practitioner (including the name and other identifying particulars of the person against whom the disciplinary action was taken).

(3) Without limiting subsection (1), it is sufficient compliance with subsection (2) if the Board provides to the Registrar sufficient information to enable the Registrar to exercise the Registrar’s functions in respect of the register of disciplinary action required to be kept under this Division.

(4) The requirement to publicise disciplinary action applies only to disciplinary action taken after the commencement of this section. However, the Board may publicise disciplinary action taken under the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1986 before the commencement of this section in accordance with this Division.

(5) This section extends to disciplinary action taken outside this State, to the extent that the particulars of that disciplinary action are known to the Board.
