Interim registration
17 Interim registration
(1) Where a person has applied to the Board for registration as a veterinarian or as a veterinary specialist, if:
2 members; or
the Registrar and one member,
are of the opinion that, subject to subsection (2), when the Board considers the application, it will direct that the applicant be registered in accordance with the application, they may in writing authorise the applicant's interim registration as a veterinarian or as a veterinary specialist in the branch of veterinary surgery or medicine specified in the application.
(2) A person who is not registered as a veterinary specialist in a State or another Territory of the Commonwealth may apply for interim registration in a branch of veterinary surgery or medicine in the same way as an application under section 15 and interim registration may be authorised under subsection (1) only if the Board has received a recommendation under section 15(6)(a) from the Advisory Committee referred to in section 15(9) specifically recommending the registration applied for.
A person's interim registration continues in force until:
(a) he or she becomes registered in accordance with a direction of the Board; or
(b) the Board refuses to make a direction for registration and the person is notified in writing of the refusal and the reasons for the refusal.
(4) After a person referred to in subsection (3)(b) has been notified of the Board's refusal to make the direction, the Registrar shall record on the Register that the interim registration has ceased to have effect.
