Conveyancers Act 2006

The Authority may grant a provisional licence to an applicant if the Authority is satisfied that the applicant—

has the experience referred to in clause 6(1)(a); and

immediately before the commencement day, carried on business as a conveyancer; and

is otherwise eligible to be granted a full licence.

Despite subclause (1)(b), the Authority may grant a provisional licence to an applicant who did not, immediately before the commencement day, carry on business as a conveyancer if the Authority is satisfied that the applicant—

carried on business as a conveyancer at some time before the commencement day; and

did not carry on that business immediately before the commencement day because of the applicant's pregnancy or status as a parent or carer or because of an impairment; and

otherwise satisfies the criteria set out in subclause (1).

A provisional licence expires 5 years after the day it is granted.

The Authority must ensure that a provisional licence bears the words "Provisional Licence".

Subject to this Schedule, this Act applies to the granting and effect of a provisional licence as if it were a full licence.

In this clause, carer, impairment and parent have the same meanings respectively as they have in the Equal Opportunity Act 1995.
