Veterinary Practice Act 1997

The Board must cause to be kept a register of all veterinary practitioners to whom the Board has granted registration under this Act.

Despite anything to the contrary in this Act, the Board is not required to keep on the register any information relating to a veterinary practitioner who is a registered veterinary practitioner by operation of section 3A.

The register is to be called the Register of Veterinary Practitioners.

The following particulars must be included on the register against the name of the veterinary practitioner to whom they apply—

the postal address of the practitioner;

the address of the premises where the practitioner carries on veterinary practice;

particulars of the type of registration of the practitioner;

any endorsement of the practitioner's registration as a specialist practitioner;

any current suspension of the registration of the veterinary practitioner;

any current condition, limitation or restriction imposed on the registration of the veterinary practitioner;

the prescribed information.

The register may be inspected at the office of the Board by any person during ordinary office hours without charge.

A person may obtain a copy of or an extract from the register on payment of the fee determined by the Board.

A registered veterinary practitioner's private address must not appear on that part of the register which is open to the public for inspection, unless the veterinary practitioner so authorises.

The Board may give register particulars to an interstate veterinary registration authority for the purposes of enabling that authority to administer or execute the law under which that authority confers or grants a right to carry on or engage in veterinary practice.
