Establishment of performance and professional standards panel
182 Establishment of performance and professional standards panel
A
National Board may establish a performance and professional standards panel if—
the
Board reasonably believes, because of a notification or for any other reason, that—
the way a registered health practitioner practises the health profession is or may be unsatisfactory; or
the registered health practitioner's professional conduct is or may be unsatisfactory; and
the
Board decides it is necessary or appropriate for the matter to be referred to a panel.
A performance and professional standards panel must consist of at least 3 members.
In choosing members of the panel, the National Board must, if possible, choose a member from the jurisdiction in which the matter the subject of the hearing occurred.
At least half, but no more than two-thirds, of the members of the panel must be persons who are—
registered health practitioners in the same health profession as the registered health practitioner the subject of the hearing; and
chosen from a list approved under section 183.
At least one member must be a person who represents the community and chosen from a list approved under section 183.
A person may not be appointed to the panel if the person has been involved in any proceedings relating to the matter the subject of the hearing by the panel.
