Commonwealth Consolidated Acts

MUTUAL RECOGNITION ACT 1992 - SECT 42H

References to persons who are registered

  (1)   A reference in the law of the second State to a person registered (however described) for the second State occupation includes a reference to a person who has automatic deemed registration to carry on an activity covered by the occupation.

  (2)   For the purpose of any law of a State, a person who has automatic deemed registration in the State is taken:

  (a)   to have had the registration conferred by operation of the law of the State; and

  (b)   not to have had the registration conferred by the operation of this Part.

Note:   One effect of this provision is that a decision of a local registration authority in a State in relation to a person's automatic deemed registration is generally reviewable in accordance with the Acts of that State.

References to registration in other States

  (3)   If a law of a State refers to a person's registration (however described) in another State, the reference does not include a reference to automatic deemed registration.

  (4)   In this section:

  (a)   a reference to registration includes a reference to previous registration; and

  (b)   a reference to automatic deemed registration includes a reference to previous automatic deemed registration.
