(1) Nothing in this Act affects the operation of any other law of the Commonwealth.
(2) This Act does not limit the operation of a law of a State so far as it can operate concurrently with this Act.
8 Mutual recognition
(1) The mutual recognition principle as applying to goods is as set out in this Part.
(2) This Part deals with goods produced in or imported into a State and their sale in another State.
(3) In this Part, the first‑mentioned State is called the first State and the other State is called the second State.
10 Requirements that do not need to be complied with
The further requirements referred to in section 9 are any one or more of the following requirements relating to sale that are imposed by or under the law of the second State:
(a) a requirement that the goods satisfy standards of the second State relating to the goods themselves, including, for example, requirements relating to their production, composition, quality or performance;
(b) a requirement that the goods satisfy standards of the second State relating to the way the goods are presented, including, for example, requirements relating to their packaging, labelling, date stamping or age;
(c) a requirement that the goods be inspected, passed or similarly dealt with in or for the purposes of the second State;
(d) a requirement that any step in the production of the goods not occur outside the second State;
(e) any other requirement relating to sale that would prevent or restrict, or would have the effect of preventing or restricting, the sale of the goods in the second State.
11 Requirements that do need to be complied with
(1) The mutual recognition principle is subject to the exceptions specified in this section.
(2) The first exception is that the principle does not affect the operation of any laws of the second State that regulate the manner of the sale of goods in the second State or the manner in which sellers conduct or are required to conduct their business in the second State (including laws set out in the examples below), so long as those laws apply equally to goods produced in or imported into the second State.
(3) The second exception is that the principle does not affect the operation of any laws of the second State regarding the transportation, storage or handling of goods within the State, so long as:
(a) those laws apply equally to goods produced in or imported into the second State; and
(b) those laws are directed at matters affecting health and safety of persons in the second State or at preventing, minimising or regulating environmental pollution (including air, water, noise or soil pollution) in the second State.
(4) The third exception is that the principle does not affect the operation of any laws of the second State regarding the inspection of goods within the State, so long as:
(a) inspection or the requirement for inspection is not a prerequisite to the sale of the goods in the second State; and
(b) those laws apply equally to goods produced in or imported into the second State; and
(c) those laws are directed at matters affecting the health and safety of persons in the second State or at preventing, minimising or regulating environmental pollution (including air, water, noise or soil pollution) in the second State.
12 Defences to offences regarding sale
(1) It is a defence to a prosecution for an offence against a law of the second State in relation to the sale of any goods if the defendant expressly claims that the mutual recognition principle applies and establishes that:
(a) the goods were labelled at the point of sale with a statement to the effect that the goods were produced in or imported into the first State; and
(2) The defence is not available if the prosecution proves that the mutual recognition principle did not apply in the circumstances of the alleged offence (because, for example, the goods did not comply with requirements imposed by the law of the first State).
(3) Any relevant presumptions or evidentiary procedures under the law of the first State are available to the prosecution or defendant in relation to matters sought to be proved by the prosecution under subsection (2).
(4) Any relevant defences under the law of the first State are available to the defendant in relation to matters sought to be proved by the prosecution under subsection (2).
13 Goods that comply with local law
(1) Nothing in this Part prevents goods from being sold in the second State if (apart from this Act) they comply with the relevant requirements imposed by or under the law of the second State.
(2) Nothing in this Part requires the labelling of goods as mentioned in section 12 if (apart from this Act) they comply with the relevant requirements imposed by or under the law of the second State.
14 Permanent exemptions
(1) This Part does not apply to goods described in Schedule 1.
(2) This Part does not affect the operation of laws described in Schedule 2.
(3) Unless otherwise stated in Schedule 2, a law described in that Schedule includes any amendment or replacement of that law, but only to the extent that the amendment or replacement deals with the same subject‑matter.
15 Temporary exemptions
(1) This Part does not apply to the sale in the second State of goods, or affect laws of the second State, for the time being declared by or under an Act or regulation of the State to be goods or laws to which this section applies.
(2) Any such exemptions have effect only if they are substantially for the purpose of protecting the health and safety of persons in the State or preventing, minimising or regulating environmental pollution (including air, water, noise or soil pollution) in the State.
(3) No such exemption operates (together with the period of any previous exemption) for longer than a period of 12 months or an aggregate period of 12 months.
16 Mutual recognition
(1) The mutual recognition principle as applying to occupations is as set out in this Part.
(2) This Part deals with the ability of a person who is registered in connection with an occupation in a State to carry on an equivalent occupation in another State.
(3) In this Part, the first‑mentioned State is called the first State, and the other State is called the second State.
17 Entitlement to carry on occupation
(1) The mutual recognition principle is that, subject to this Part, a person who is registered in the first State for an occupation is, by this Act, entitled after notifying the local registration authority of the second State for the equivalent occupation:
(b) pending such registration, to carry on the equivalent occupation in the second State.
(2) However, the mutual recognition principle is subject to the exception that it does not affect the operation of laws that regulate the manner of carrying on an occupation in the second State, so long as those laws:
(2) This Part extends to an occupation carried on by an individual, where the individual is subject to more than one system of registration or more than one local registration authority in a State, and accordingly this Part applies in relation to each such system of registration and each such authority.
19 Notification to local registration authority
(1) A person who is registered in the first State for an occupation may lodge a written notice with the local registration authority of the second State for the equivalent occupation, seeking registration for the equivalent occupation in accordance with the mutual recognition principle.
(a) state that the person is registered for the occupation in the first State and specify that State; and
(b) state the occupation for which registration is sought and that it is being sought in accordance with the mutual recognition principle; and
(c) specify all the States in which the person has substantive registration for equivalent occupations; and
(d) state that the person is not the subject of disciplinary proceedings in any State (including any preliminary investigations or action that might lead to disciplinary proceedings) in relation to those occupations; and
(e) state that the person’s registration in any State is not cancelled or currently suspended as a result of disciplinary action; and
(f) state that the person is not otherwise personally prohibited from carrying on any such occupation in any State, and is not subject to any special conditions in carrying on that occupation, as a result of criminal, civil or disciplinary proceedings in any State; and
(g) specify any special conditions to which the person is subject in carrying on any such occupation in any State; and
(h) give consent to the making of inquiries of, and the exchange of information with, the authorities of any State regarding the person’s activities in the relevant occupation or occupations or otherwise regarding matters relevant to the notice.
(3) The notice must be accompanied by a document that is either the original or a copy of the instrument evidencing the person’s existing registration (or, if there is no such instrument, by sufficient information to identify the person and the person’s registration).
(4) As regards the instrument evidencing the person’s existing registration, the person must certify in the notice that the accompanying document is the original or a complete and accurate copy of the original.
20 Entitlement to registration and continued registration
(1) A person who lodges a notice under section 19 with a local registration authority of the second State is entitled to be registered in the equivalent occupation, as if the law of the second State that deals with registration expressly provided that registration in the first State is a sufficient ground of entitlement to registration.
(3) Once a person is registered on that ground, the entitlement to registration continues, whether or not registration (including any renewal of registration) ceases in the first State.
(4) Continuance of registration is otherwise subject to the laws of the second State, to the extent to which those laws:
(5) The local registration authority may impose conditions on registration, but may not impose conditions that are more onerous than would be imposed in similar circumstances (having regard to relevant qualifications and experience) if it were registration effected apart from this Part, unless they are conditions that apply to the person’s registration in the first State or that are necessary to achieve equivalence of occupations.
21 Action following notice
(1) Registration must be granted within one month after the notice is lodged with the local registration authority under section 19.
22 Postponement of registration
(1) A local registration authority may postpone the grant of registration if:
(3) The local registration authority may not postpone the grant of registration for longer than a period of 6 months, and the person is entitled to registration immediately at the end of that period, unless registration was refused at or before the end of that period.
(4) Nothing in subsection (3) prevents earlier registration from being granted on a review by the Tribunal.
23 Refusal of registration
(1) A local registration authority may refuse the grant of registration if:
(2) A decision to refuse to grant registration on the ground that the occupation in which registration is sought is not an equivalent occupation takes effect at the end of a specified period (not less than 2 weeks) after the person is notified of the decision, unless it has been previously revoked or there is an application for review to the Tribunal, in which case the Tribunal may make whatever orders it considers appropriate.
25 Deemed registration
(1) A person who lodges a notice under section 19 with a local registration authority of a State is, pending the grant or refusal of registration, taken to be registered as provided in section 20.
(3) Deemed registration in one State does not of itself provide a basis for registration in another State.
26 Duration of deemed registration
(1) A person’s deemed registration in the second State continues until it is cancelled or suspended or otherwise ceases in accordance with this Part.
(2) A person’s deemed registration in the second State ceases if the person becomes substantively registered in the State in connection with the occupation concerned.
(3) A person’s deemed registration in the second State ceases if the local registration authority of the State refuses to grant registration, subject to any determination of the Tribunal.
(4) A person’s deemed registration in the second State ceases if the person ceases to be substantively registered in every other State mentioned in the notice as required by paragraph 19(2)(c).
(5) A local registration authority of the second State may cancel a person’s deemed registration in the second State if the person requests cancellation.
27 Activities under deemed registration
(1) A person who has deemed registration in the second State may carry on the occupation in the second State as if the deemed registration were substantive registration in the second State.
(a) within the limits conferred by the person’s substantive registration in the first State; and
(b) within the limits conferred by the person’s deemed registration in the second State; and
(c) subject to any conditions or undertakings applying to the person’s registration in the first State, unless waived by the local registration authority of the second State under this section; and
(d) subject to any conditions applying to the person’s deemed registration.
(a) the person may not carry on the occupation in the second State without complying with any requirements regarding insurance, fidelity funds, trust accounts and the like that are designed to protect the public, clients, customers or others; and
(b) a person who has deemed registration in an occupation in the second State is subject to any disciplinary provisions and arrangements that are applicable to persons who are substantively registered in that State; and
(c) references in the law of the second State to persons registered in an occupation under the law of that State (however expressed) extend to persons who have deemed registration for the occupation under this Act.
(4) However, the local registration authority of the second State may waive any condition imposed under the law of the first State, or any undertaking given to the local registration authority of the first State, if it thinks it appropriate in the circumstances.
(5) The local registration authority of the second State may impose conditions as if deemed registration were substantive registration, but it must not impose conditions that are more onerous than would be imposed in similar circumstances (having regard to relevant qualifications and experience) if it were registration effected apart from this Part, unless they correspond to conditions or undertakings that apply to the person’s registration in the first State or that are necessary to achieve equivalence of occupations.
28 Equivalent occupations
29 General principles
(1) An occupation for which persons may be registered in the first State is taken to be equivalent to an occupation for which persons may be registered in the second State if the activities authorised to be carried out under each registration are substantially the same (whether or not this result is achieved by means of the imposition of conditions).
(2) Conditions may be imposed on registration under this Part so as to achieve equivalence between occupations in different States.
30 Declarations as to equivalent occupations
(2) If a declaration made by the Tribunal and a declaration made by Ministers are inconsistent, the ministerial declaration prevails.
(3) A declaration under this Part does not affect the registration of any person already registered (except in the case of a declaration made by the Tribunal in relation to that person specifically).
31 Declarations by Tribunal
(1) On a review, the Tribunal may make an order that a person who is registered in a particular occupation in a particular State is or is not entitled to registration in another State in a particular occupation, and may specify or describe conditions that will achieve equivalence.
(2) On such a review, the Tribunal may make a declaration that occupations carried on in 2 States are not equivalent, but only if the Tribunal is satisfied that:
(b) registration in one State should not entitle registered persons to carry on a particular activity or class of activity in the other State, where:
(i) the activity or class of activity is a material part of the practice of a person registered in the first State for the occupation; and
(ii) the activity or class of activity, if carried out by a person not conforming to the appropriate standards, could reasonably be expected to expose persons in the other State to a real threat to their health or safety or could reasonably be expected to cause significant environmental pollution (including air, water, noise or soil pollution); and
(3) The Registrar or other proper officer of the Tribunal must cause a notice setting out the terms of a declaration under this section to be promptly published in the Gazette.
(4) A declaration made on the basis of paragraph (2)(b) has effect for no longer than 12 months, and the local registration authority must promptly notify appropriate authorities in each other State and the Commonwealth of the declaration.
32 Declarations by Ministers
(1) A Minister from each of 2 or more States may jointly declare, by notice in the Gazette, that specified occupations are equivalent, and may specify or describe conditions that will achieve equivalence.
(3) The declaration has effect only in relation to the States concerned.
33 Disciplinary action
(1) If a person’s registration in an occupation in a State:
(2) However, the local registration authority of the other State may reinstate any cancelled or suspended registration or waive any such condition if it thinks it appropriate in the circumstances.
(1) Subject to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal Act 1975, application may be made to the Tribunal for review of a decision of a local registration authority in relation to its functions under this Act.
(a) subject to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal Act 1975, application for review of the decision may be made to the Tribunal by a person whose interests are affected by the decision; and
(4) Any failure to comply with subsection (3) does not affect the validity of the decision.
35 Costs
(1) A local registration authority of a State must furnish without delay any information reasonably required by a local registration authority of another State about a person substantively registered under a law of the first‑mentioned State.
(2) The obligation imposed under this section does not apply unless the authority of the other State notifies the authority of the first‑mentioned State that the information is required in connection with:
(b) a person’s deemed registration; or
(3) The authority of the first‑mentioned State may provide the information, despite any law relating to secrecy or confidentiality.
(1) It is the duty of each local registration authority to facilitate the operation of this Part in relation to the occupations for which the authority is responsible, and in particular to make use of the power to impose conditions in such a way as to promote the mutual recognition principle.
(2) It is the duty of each local registration authority to prepare and make available guidelines and information regarding the operation of this Part in relation to the occupations for which the authority is responsible.
(1) A local registration authority has power to impose fees in relation to substantive or deemed registration or the continuance of registration arising under this Part, but any such fees may not be greater than are applicable for registration apart from this Part.
(2) Nothing in this section prevents the fixing or prescribing of fees referred to in this section under any other law of a State, but the fees may not be greater than can be imposed under this section.
(1) Neither substantive or deemed registration, nor entitlement to registration, under this Part requires compliance with any statutory or other formalities requiring personal attendance in the second State.
43 References to participating jurisdictions
(a) a State (other than a Territory) for which there is in force an Act of its Parliament that refers to the Parliament of the Commonwealth the power to enact this Act, or that adopts this Act, under paragraph (xxxvii) of section 51 of the Commonwealth Constitution; or
(b) a Territory (being the Australian Capital Territory or the Northern Territory) for which there is in force an Act of its legislature that requests the Parliament of the Commonwealth to enact this Act or that enables this Act to apply in relation to it.
44 Application of mutual recognition principle
(1) The mutual recognition principle and the provisions of this Act may be taken into consideration in proceedings of any kind and for any purpose.
(2) Nothing in this Act prevents a person from relying on the mutual recognition principle in relation to more than 2 States.
