Boxing and Martial Arts Act 2000

If it appears to the Minister, from a medical practitioner's certificate or declaration, that a registered contestant is not fit to participate as a contestant in events of the kind in relation to which he or she is registered, the Minister must, by written notice to the contestant, suspend or cancel the person's registration as a contestant.

The Minister may, by written notice to a registered contestant, suspend or cancel the contestant's registration if satisfied that the contestant—

has contravened a provision of this Act or a provision of a law of another State or Territory that corresponds with a provision of this Act;

has participated as a contestant in a professional or public boxing or martial art event after a medical practitioner had declared the contestant to be unfit to participate in the event.

If a person's registration as a contestant has been suspended or cancelled under subsection (1), the Minister must not remove the suspension or re-register the person unless the person has given the Minister two medical certificates that—

certify that the person is fit to participate as a contestant in events of the relevant kind; and

have been signed by different medical practitioners;

are, according to the terms of the certificates, based on examinations of the person conducted by the medical practitioners within seven days before the date of the person's application for removal of the suspension or re-registration.
