OSTEOPATHS ACT 2005 - SECT 65

65 .         Report of examination

        (1)         A medical practitioner who conducts an examination under section 64 is to give a report of the examination to the impairment review committee and, not more than 7 days later, the committee is to give a copy of the report to the osteopath.

        (2)         Despite subsection (1), if it appears to the impairment review committee that the disclosure to the osteopath of information in the report might be prejudicial to the physical or mental health or wellbeing of the osteopath, the committee may decide not to give that report to the osteopath but to give it instead to a medical practitioner or another osteopath nominated by the osteopath.

        (3)         If the osteopath does not nominate a medical practitioner or another osteopath to the impairment review committee within 7 days of being requested to do so by the committee, the committee may give the report to a medical practitioner or osteopath selected by the committee.

        (4)         The osteopath may make written representations to the impairment review committee with respect to the report within 7 days after the report is given to him or her or the medical practitioner or osteopath nominated by him or her or selected by the committee.
