27—Registration of occupational therapy students

        (1)         A person is not entitled to—

            (a)         undertake a course of study that provides qualifications for registration on the register of occupational therapists; or

            (b)         provide occupational therapy as part of a course of study related to occupational therapy being undertaken by the person in a place outside the State,

unless the person is registered under this section as an occupational therapy student.

        (2)         A person is eligible for registration as an occupational therapy student on the occupational therapy student register if the person, on application to the Board, satisfies the Board that he or she—

            (a)         genuinely requires registration on that register

                  (i)         to enable the person to undertake a course of study that provides qualifications for registration on the register of occupational therapists; or

                  (ii)         to enable the person to provide occupational therapy as part of a course of study related to occupational therapy being undertaken by the person in a place outside the State; and

            (b)         is medically fit to provide occupational therapy as a registered occupational therapy student; and

            (c)         is a fit and proper person to be registered on the occupational therapy student register.

        (3)         Registration on the occupational therapy student register is subject to the condition that the registered person does not provide occupational therapy except in prescribed circumstances.

        (4)         If a person who applies for registration, or reinstatement of registration, on the occupational therapy student register is not, in the opinion of the Board, medically fit to provide occupational therapy as a registered occupational therapy student, the Board may register the person on that register in pursuance of this subsection ("limited student registration ) and impose 1 or more of the following conditions on the registration:

            (a)         a condition further limiting the kind of occupational therapy that the person may provide;

            (b)         a condition limiting the period during which the registration will have effect;

            (c)         a condition requiring that the person be supervised in the provision of occupational therapy by a particular person or by a person of a particular class;

            (d)         such other conditions as the Board thinks fit.
