81 Register of local practising certificates
(1) A regulatory authority must, in the way it considers appropriate, keep a
register of the names of Australian lawyers to whom it grants local practising
certificates.
(2) The register must—
(a) state conditions, if any, imposed
on a local practising certificate relating to the certificate holder engaging
in legal practice; and
(b) include other particulars prescribed under a
regulation.
(3) A regulatory authority must ensure that an up-to-date version
of its register is available, without charge, for public inspection—
(a) at
the authority’s principal place of business during normal working hours; or
(b) on the authority’s internet site or an internet site identified on the
authority’s internet site.
(4) However, a regulation may provide for a
person’s name not to be included in the register or for that person’s name
as it appears in the register not to be available for public inspection.
Example of a regulation—
A regulation may provide for a system of applying
to a regulatory authority for the suppression of a person’s name if the
person is being stalked by a previous client or has been otherwise threatened
with violence by someone.
