Australian Capital Territory Numbered Acts

VETERINARY PRACTICE ACT 2018 (NO. 32 OF 2018) - SECT 34

    (1)     A person who practises as a veterinary practitioner in the ACT is taken to be registered as a veterinary practitioner under this Act ( deemed registration ) if—

        (a)     the person's principal place of residence is in another jurisdiction; and

        (b)     the person is registered as a veterinary practitioner in the other jurisdiction; and

        (c)     the person is not registered as a veterinary practitioner in the ACT.

Example

Selina lives in NSW but commutes to the ACT to work as a vet in a veterinary practice. Selina is registered as a veterinary practitioner in NSW but not in the ACT. Selina is deemed to be a registered veterinary practitioner under this Act.

Note     An example is part of the Act, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act

, s 126 and s 132).

    (2)     If the person has specialist registration in a branch of veterinary science (however described) in the jurisdiction in which the person is registered, the person's deemed registration is taken to be a specialist registration in that branch.
