The Board may, if it considers there are reasonable grounds for doing so, impose conditions on the registration of a person —

Without limiting subsection (1), the following are examples of conditions that can be imposed on a person’s registration —

a condition requiring the person to complete a specified course of further veterinary education;

a condition requiring the person to undertake a specified period of practice or work under specified supervision;

a condition requiring the person to do or refrain from doing something in connection with veterinary medicine;

a condition requiring the person to undergo specified counselling or medical treatment or to act in accordance with specified medical advice concerning the person;

if the person is a veterinarian, a condition requiring that the practice by the person of veterinary medicine, or the person’s veterinary practice business —

be conducted for a specified period in a specified way or subject to specified conditions; or

be subject to periodic inspection for a specified period.

A decision under subsection (1) to impose a condition on a person’s registration during the currency of the registration takes effect on the later of the following —

the day on which notice of the decision is given to the person under section 33(1);

the day (if any) specified in the notice.

A condition imposed on the registration of an interstate veterinarian must be —

no more onerous than would be imposed on a WA veterinarian under this Act in the same or similar circumstances; and

relevant to the practice of veterinary medicine by the interstate veterinarian in this State.
