4. (1) Section 3 of the Principal Act is amended-
(a) by omitting from the definition of "eligible employee" in sub-section
(1) "but does not include" and substituting "but, in relation to a person to
whom any of the preceding paragraphs of this definition, other than paragraph
(ea), applies, does not include";
(b) by inserting in sub-section (6) "of the Commonwealth or" after "law"; and

   (c)  by adding at the end the following sub-section:

"(8) A reference in this Act to a medical examination by a medical
practitioner does not include a reference to a medical examination by a person
other than a person registered or licensed as a medical practitioner under a
law of a State or Territory that provides for the registration or licensing of
medical practitioners unless-

   (a)  the medical examination is made in a place that is not in Australia or
        an external Territory; and

   (b)  the person is registered or licensed as a medical practitioner under a
        law of that place that provides for the registration or licensing of
        medical practitioners.".

(2) Notwithstanding the amendment made by paragraph (1) (a), where,
immediately before the commencement of this section, a person to whom
paragraph (ea) of the definition of "eligible employee" in sub-section 3 (1)
of the Principal Act applied was not an eligible employee within the meaning
of the Principal Act because paragraph (h), (j), (k) or (l) of that definition
applied to the person, that person shall become an eligible employee within
the meaning of the Principal Act as amended and in force after the
commencement of this section if, and only if, he or she becomes a person to
whom paragraph (b), (c), (d), (e), (ea), (f) or (g), but none of the other
paragraphs, of the definition of "eligible employee" in sub-section 3 (1) of
the Principal Act as so amended and in force applies.
