MAJOR EVENTS ACT 2014 - SECT 43

43 Registration exemption notice

(1) The Health Minister may publish a notice (a
"registration exemption notice" ) in the gazette for an exempt event.

(2) The registration exemption notice must state a procedure for a person to give the chief health officer a written notice (an
"intention to practise notice" ) of a person’s intention to practise a health profession for a visitor in the State.

(3) The procedure may require the person to give information to the chief health officer.

(4) A registration exemption notice may—

(a) authorise a visiting health practitioner to give a prescription for a medicine in the course of practising a health profession under this Act for a period; or

(b) authorise a dispenser to supply a medicine on the prescription of a visiting health practitioner; or

(c) authorise a visiting health practitioner to be supplied with a medicine by wholesale for the practitioner to practise a health profession under this Act; or

(d) authorise a wholesaler to supply a medicine by wholesale to an authorised visiting health practitioner; or

(e) impose conditions on any authorisation in the notice, such as the way a visiting health practitioner is to practise a health profession under this Act.

(5) However, the Health Minister must not give any of those authorisations unless satisfied that adequate arrangements are in place to ensure a medicine will be prescribed for, and supplied to, only persons to whom visiting health practitioners are authorised to practise a health profession under this Act.
