Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (South Australia) Act 2010

A health practitioner engages a second responder by taking such action as may be required by the regulations.

Before engaging a second responder, a health practitioner must be satisfied on reasonable grounds that the second responder satisfies any requirements set out in the regulations for the purposes of this subsection.

A person will be taken to be a second responder in respect of a particular callout—

from the time that the person is engaged to act as second responder in respect of the callout; and

until the time that the callout is completed, (both determined in accordance with the regulations).

The regulations may make further provision in relation to second responders.

Without limiting the generality of subsection (4), the regulations may—

prohibit a specified person, or a person of a specified class, from being engaged as a second responder;

limit the circumstances in which a specified person, or a person of a specified class, may be engaged as a second responder;

provide for, or limit, entitlements accrued by, and the terms and conditions of engagement of, second responders;

limit the civil liability of second responders;

modify the operation of a specified Act or law as it applies to second responders.
