MEDICINES AND POISONS ACT 2019 - SECT 56

Relationship between different authorisations

56 Relationship between different authorisations

(1) This section applies if—
(a) an approved person’s authorisation (the
"primary authorisation" ) relates to carrying out a regulated activity with a regulated substance; and
(b) the approved person is authorised in another way under another provision of this Act (an
"alternative authorisation" ) in relation to the regulated activity with the regulated substance.
Examples of when this section applies—
1 An approved person’s authorisation does not authorise the person to prescribe an S8 medicine and the person holds a prescribing approval authorising the person to prescribe the S8 medicine in particular circumstances.
2 An approved person’s authorisation authorises the person to apply an S7 substance, other than a particular poison, and the person holds a general approval authorising the person to apply the particular poison.
(2) To the extent practicable, the primary authorisation and the alternative authorisation are to be read together.
(3) However, if the primary authorisation is inconsistent with the alternative authorisation, the primary authorisation does not apply to the approved person to the extent of the inconsistency.
