22 Registration as interstate veterinarian
A person is registered as an interstate veterinarian if —
the person holds interstate registration; and
the participating jurisdiction in which the person holds interstate registration is —
if the participating jurisdiction is a participating jurisdiction under the Mutual Recognition Act 1992 (Commonwealth) section 5(4) but is not a pre‑adoption State under section 4(1) of that Act — the person’s home State under section 42A of that Act for the occupation of carrying out veterinary medicine; or
otherwise — the participating jurisdiction in which the person has their principal place of residence or principal place of work in relation to carrying out veterinary medicine;
and
the person practises veterinary medicine in this State.
Subject to section 26, it is a condition of registration under subsection (1) that the person must not carry out an act of veterinary medicine in this State unless the law of the participating jurisdiction in which they hold interstate registration authorises or permits the person to carry out that act in that jurisdiction.
