A person commits an offence if:

the person is a medical service provider; and

the medical service provider makes a threat to another person to cause detriment to the other person or a third person; and

the medical service provider is reckless as to causing the other person or the third person to fear that the threat will be carried out; and

the medical service provider makes the threat intending to encourage the other person to request a pathology service in respect of treatment provided under this Chapter.

For the purposes of subsection (1), a threat may be:
