IN ADDITION TO UNCONDITIONAL REGISTRATION THE BOARD HAS A
DISCRETIONARY POWER TO REGISTER A PERSON 'WITH CONDITIONS' TO
LIMIT THE PERSON'S ABILITY TO PRACTISE IN A WAY THE
PHYSIOTHERAPISTS BOARD CONSIDERS SAFE OR APPROPRIATE FOR
THAT PERSON OR FOR PROTECTION OF THE PUBLIC.
THE PHYSIOTHERAPISTS BOARD'S DISCIPLINARY POWERS HAVE BEEN
EXPANDED TO PROVIDE FOR A RANGE OF UNIFORM SANCTIONS WHICH
CAN BE IMPOSED EITHER SINGULARLY OR IN COMBINATION ON A
PERSON'S REGISTRATION AS A RESULT OF DISCIPLINARY ACTION OR IN
CASES OF IMPAIRMENT.
THERE IS A REQUIREMENT FOR THE BOARD TO HOLD AN INQUIRY-PRIOR
TO IMPOSING ANY OF THE EXPANDED RANGE OF SANCTIONS ON A
PERSON'S PRACTISE.
WHERE A PHYSIOTHERAPIST HAS HAD CONDITIONS IMPOSED ON HIS OR
HER REGISTRATION UNDER THE IMPAIRMENT PROVISIONS, THAT
PERSON MAY REQUEST THE BOARD TO REVIEW THOSE CONDITIONS. IF
THE BOARD IS SATISFIED THAT THE IMPAIRMENT HAS LESSENED OR
THAT THE PERSON NO LONGER SUFFERS FROM THAT IMPAIRMENT, IT
MAY REMOVE THE CONDITIONS OR IMPOSE NEW CONDITIONS ON THE
PERSON'S REGISTRATION.
WHERE THE BOARD REFUSES TO REVIEW THE CONDITIONS IMPOSED ON
A PERSON'S REGISTRATION UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES THERE IS A
RIGHT OF APPEAL TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE APPEALS TRIBUNAL.
THE TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS WILL ENSURE CONTINUATION OF
REGISTRATION FOR PHYSIOTHERAPISTS REGISTERED UNDER THE
PHYSIOTHERAPISTS ACT 1977 ON THE SAME TERMS AND SUBJECT TO THE
SAME CONDITIONS AS APPLIED TO THEIR REGISTRATION IMMEDIATELY
BEFORE THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE NEW PROVISIONS.
THE TRANSITIONAL ARRANGEMENTS ALSO ENTITLE PERSONS WHO
WERE GRANTED PROVISIONAL REGISTRATION UNDER THE PRINCIPAL
ACT TO INTERIM REGISTRATION UNDER THE NEW PROVISIONS.
