6  Requirements to be an eligible midwife
  For subsection 84AAE(3) of the Act, the following requirement is determined for a person to be an eligible midwife for the purposes of Part VII of the Act:
 (a) the registration of the person in the health profession of midwifery must be endorsed by the National Board under section 94 of the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law to administer, obtain, possess, prescribe, sell, supply or use a scheduled medicine or class of scheduled medicines.

            Note 1: The reference to National Board in this section is a reference to the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia.

            Note 2: The registration of a person in the health profession of midwifery may only be endorsed by the National Board under section 94 of the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law if the person:
              (a) holds either of the following qualifications relevant to the endorsement—
                (i) an approved qualification;
                (ii) another qualification that, in the National Board's opinion, is substantially equivalent to, or based on similar competencies to, an approved qualification; and
              (b) complies with any approved registration standard relevant to the endorsement.

            Note 3: An endorsement of the registration of a midwife under section 94 of the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law indicates that the midwife is qualified to administer, obtain, possess, prescribe, sell, supply or use the scheduled medicine or class of scheduled medicines specified in the endorsement but does not authorise the midwife to do so. Such authorisation will be provided for by or under another Act of the relevant jurisdiction.
