Eligibility for appointment
34 Eligibility for appointment
In deciding whether to appoint a person as a member of a National
Board, the Ministerial Council is to have regard to the skills and experience of the person that are relevant to the Board's functions.
A person is eligible to be appointed as a practitioner member only if the person is a registered health practitioner in a health profession for which the Board is established.
A person is eligible to be appointed as a community member only if the person is not, and has not at any time been, a health practitioner in a health profession for which the Board is established.
A person is not eligible to be appointed as a member of a National
Board if—
in the case of appointment as a practitioner member—the person has, whether before or after the commencement of this Law, as a result of the person's misconduct, impairment or incompetence, ceased to be registered as a health practitioner in a health profession for which the Board is established; or
in any case, the person has, at any time, been found guilty of an offence (whether in a participating jurisdiction or elsewhere) that, in the opinion of the Ministerial Council, renders the person unfit to hold the office of member.
