Failure to
satisfy
conditions for
general scope

If a doctor fails to satisfy the conditions on his or her practice as required by Council to ensure competence within a general scope within two years, the Registrar will refer the doctor’s application for an annual practising certificate (APC) to the Council under section 27(1)(b) of the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act (HPCAA).

In this situation, the Council may:

  • extend registration within a provisional general scope for a further period, or
  • propose to either place restrictions on, or decline to issue the doctor’s APC under section 28,

The doctor must be given an opportunity to make written submissions and be heard by Council, before a final decision to restrict, or decline to issue, an APC can be made.
