LEGAL PROFESSION ACT 2007 No. 24 - SECT 81

81 Register of local practising certificates

(1) A regulatory authority must, in the way it considers appropriate, keep a register of the names of Australian lawyers to whom it grants local practising certificates.

(2) The register must--

(a) state conditions, if any, imposed on a local practising certificate relating to the certificate holder engaging in legal practice; and
(b) include other particulars prescribed under a regulation.

(3) A regulatory authority must ensure that an up-to-date version of its register is available, without charge, for public inspection--

(a) at the authority's principal place of business during normal working hours; or
(b) on the authority's internet site or an internet site identified on the authority's internet site.

(4) However, a regulation may provide for a person's name not to be included in the register or for that person's name as it appears in the register not to be available for public inspection.

Example of a regulation--
A regulation may provide for a system of applying to a regulatory authority for the suppression of a person's name if the person is being stalked by a previous client or has been otherwise threatened with violence by someone.
