New South Wales Consolidated Acts

PUBLIC HEALTH ACT 2010 - SECT 100

100 Codes of conduct for non-registered health practitioners and relevant health organisations

(cf 1991 Act, s 10AM)

(1) The regulations may prescribe codes of conduct for the provision of health services by--

(a) health practitioners who are not registered health practitioners (including de-registered health practitioners within the meaning of Division 3), and

(b) registered health practitioners who provide health services that are unrelated to their registration, and

(c) relevant health organisations.

Note--: Sections 41A and 45C of the Health Care Complaints Act 1993 permit the Health Care Complaints Commission to make a prohibition order in relation to a health practitioner or a relevant health organisation if the Commission finds that the health practitioner or the relevant health organisation has breached a code of conduct and poses a risk to the health of members of the public. The Commission is also able to cause a public statement to be issued in those circumstances identifying and giving warnings about the health practitioner or relevant health organisation.
