Trans-Tasman Mutual Recognition Act 1997

A local registration authority of an Australian jurisdiction must furnish without delay any information reasonably required by a local registration authority of another participating jurisdiction about a person substantively registered under a law of the Australian jurisdiction.

The obligation imposed under this section does not apply unless the authority of the other participating jurisdiction notifies the authority of the firstmentioned jurisdiction that the information is required in connection with—

a notice lodged by a person seeking registration;

a person’s deemed registration; or

actual or possible disciplinary action against the person.

The authority of the firstmentioned jurisdiction is empowered to provide the information, despite any law relating to secrecy, confidentiality or privacy.

Nothing in this section affects any obligation or power to provide information apart from this section.
