The office of a member becomes vacant if the member—

completes a term of office; or

resigns the office by instrument in writing addressed to the Chairperson of the Ministerial Council; or

is removed from office by the Chairperson of the Ministerial Council under this clause; or

Board of which reasonable notice has been given to the member personally or by post; or

dies.

The

the member has been found guilty of an offence (whether in a participating jurisdiction or elsewhere) that, in the opinion of the

Chairperson of the Ministerial Council, renders the member unfit to continue to hold the office of member; or

the member, as a result of the member's misconduct, impairment or incompetence—

ceases to be a registered health practitioner; or

if the member is registered in more than one health profession—ceases to be registered in either or any of the health professions; or

the member becomes bankrupt, applies to take the benefit of any law for the relief of bankrupt or insolvent debtors, compounds with the member's creditors or makes an assignment of the member's remuneration for their benefit; or

the

Agency Board recommends the removal of the member, on the basis that the member has engaged in misconduct or has failed or is unable to properly exercise the member's functions as a member.

In addition, the Chairperson of the Ministerial Council may remove the

Chairperson of the Agency Board from office as a member if the

Chairperson of the Agency Board becomes a registered health practitioner.
