Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (South Australia) Act 2010

If—

a member has a direct or indirect pecuniary or other interest in a matter being considered or about to be considered at a meeting of the National Board; and

the interest appears to raise a conflict with the proper performance of the member's duties in relation to the consideration of the matter;

the member must, as soon as possible after the relevant facts have come to the member's knowledge, disclose the nature of the interest at a meeting of the National Board.

Particulars of any disclosure made under this clause must be recorded by the

National Board in a book kept for the purpose.

After a member has disclosed the nature of an interest in any matter, the member must not, unless the Ministerial Council or the National

Board otherwise determines—

be present during any deliberation of the National Board with respect to the matter; or

take

part in any decision of the National Board with respect to the matter.

For the purposes of the making of a determination by the National Board under subclause (3), a member who has a direct or indirect pecuniary or other interest in a matter to which the disclosure relates must not—

be present during any deliberation of the National Board for the purpose of making the determination; or

take

part in the making of the determination by the National Board.

A contravention of this clause does not invalidate any decision of the

National Board.

This clause applies to a member of a committee of a National Board and the committee in the same way as it applies to a member of the

National Board and the National Board.
