Therapeutic Goods Regulations 1990

This regulation is made for subsection 52B(3) of the Act.

A nomination must be in writing.

The nomination must specify the term of the nominee’s membership of the Committee.

The nominee becomes a member of the Committee when the nomination is given to the Minister.

A nominated member stops being a member if:

the body that nominated the member gives the Minister written notice that the member’s nomination is withdrawn; or

the member, by written notice given to the Minister under subregulation 42ZCG(1), resigns from the Committee.

The Commonwealth, each State, the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory may, by written notice given to the Minister, nominate a member (the temporary nominee) to temporarily replace an existing member nominated by the Commonwealth, the State or Territory:

during a vacancy in the existing member’s office; or

during any period, or all periods, when the existing member is:

absent from duty or from Australia; or

for any other reason unable to perform the functions of a nominated member.

The temporary nominee becomes a member of the Committee, and the existing member stops being a member of the Committee:

when the circumstance giving rise to the temporary replacement commences; and

until that circumstance ends.
