501 Disciplinary action taken where infirmity, injury or illness is involved
Disciplinary action taken against a person because of infirmity, injury or mental or physical illness is not to be recorded in the Register or otherwise publicised under this Part.
Subsection (1) does not apply where the disciplinary action involves – the suspension or cancellation of the person's Australian practising certificate; or a refusal to grant or renew an Australian practising certificate applied for by the person; or a restriction or prohibition on the person's right to engage in legal practice – but in that case the reason for the disciplinary action, and any other information relating to the infirmity, injury or mental or physical illness, is not to be recorded in the Register or otherwise publicised under this Part without the person's consent.
