Veterinary Practice Act 1997

If a registered veterinary practitioner granted specific registration notifies the Board, or the Board becomes aware, that the practitioner cannot comply with a condition imposed on the registration, the Board must give a written notice to the practitioner in accordance with subsection (2).

For the purposes of subsection (1) the notice must—

require that the registered veterinary practitioner show sufficient cause as to why the specific registration should not be cancelled because of non-compliance with the condition; and

inform the registered veterinary practitioner that the practitioner must show sufficient cause within the period of 10 business days after being given the notice.

If a registered veterinary practitioner who has been given a notice in accordance with this section fails to show sufficient cause to the Board as to why the specific registration should not be cancelled within the period stated in the notice, the Board may cancel the specific registration.

If the Board cancels a specific registration under subsection (3) the Board must give a written notice to the veterinary practitioner who had held that registration stating—

that the specific registration has been cancelled by the Board; and

that the specific registration will be removed from the Register; and

the date on which the cancellation of the specific registration comes into effect, which must be no earlier than the date on which the practitioner receives the notice; and

that the veterinary practitioner may apply under Part 4 to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal for a review of the decision to cancel the specific registration.
