PODIATRISTS ACT 1994 (REPEALED) - SECT 34

    (1)     Subject to subsection (2), the board shall, if satisfied that the mental or physical condition of a person who is registered as a podiatrist renders him or her unfit to practise podiatry—

        (a)     cancel the registration of the person; or

        (b)     by order served on the person, suspend the registration of the person for the period the board considers appropriate.

    (2)     The board may, instead of cancelling or suspending the registration of a person, if satisfied that the person is fit to give or perform some podiatry services and that it would not be contrary to the public interest to make an order under this subsection, by order served on the person, direct the person not to give or perform the podiatry services specified, whether individually or otherwise, in the order.

    (3)     If the board has made an order under subsection (2) in relation to a person, it may, if so requested by the person, review the order and, if satisfied that the mental or physical condition of the person has changed since the order was made, amend or revoke the order.

    (4)     A person on whom an order under subsection (1) (b) or (2) has been served who gives or performs a podiatry service in contravention of that order shall, in giving or performing the service, be deemed to be a person other than a registered podiatrist.
