Veterinary Practice Act 2018

This section applies if the ACAT may make an order for occupational discipline in relation to a veterinary practitioner.

In addition to any other occupational discipline order the ACAT may make, the ACAT may make 1 or more of the following orders for occupational discipline in relation to the veterinary practitioner:

require the veterinary practitioner to undergo a stated medical, psychiatric or psychological assessment, counselling or both;

require the veterinary practitioner to take part in a review of the practitioner’s professional practice;

require the veterinary practitioner to report on the practitioner’s practice at stated times, in the way stated and to a named person;

require the veterinary practitioner to seek and take advice from a stated entity about the management of the practitioner’s practice;

require the supervision, monitoring or reporting about the effect of something the veterinary practitioner is required to do by the ACAT;

if the veterinary practitioner is not registered—declare that, if the practitioner had been registered, the ACAT would have found that the practitioner had contravened the required standard of practice or did not satisfy the suitability to practise requirements.

Note The ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2008, s 66 sets out other occupational discipline orders the ACAT may make.
