DL¬ - SECT 13

    (1)     Subject to subsection (3), the board may refuse an application for registration if—

        (a)     the applicant has been convicted in the ACT of an offence or has been convicted outside the ACT by a court for or in relation to an act or omission that would, had it taken place in the ACT, have constituted an offence; and

        (b)     the board is of the opinion that the conviction renders the person unfit in the public interest to practise psychology.

    (2)     The board shall have regard to the nature of an offence and the circumstances in which it was committed in making a decision under subsection (1).
