(1)
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Act, the Council may, upon such evidence as it may require, order the removal from the appropriate register of the name of a registered allied health professional under any of the following circumstances:
if he has been registered with restricted, conditional or temporary registration, and has failed to comply with any condition or restriction to which his registration is subject;
if he has been registered with conditional or temporary registration, and the Council is of the opinion, having regard to any review by a person referred to in section 18(6)(c) or 19(5)(c) (as the case may be), that he is unable to perform the duties of an allied health professional with conditional or temporary registration (as the case may be) satisfactorily;
if he has been registered with conditional registration and the Council is of the opinion, having regard to a report of an allied health professional supervising him pursuant to a condition referred to in section 18(6)(a), that he is unable to perform the duties of an allied health professional with conditional registration satisfactorily;
if he has obtained his registration fraudulently or by an incorrect statement;
if his qualification for registration under this Act has been withdrawn or cancelled by the authority or institution of higher learning through which it was acquired or by which it was awarded; or
if he has had his registration (or its equivalent) in any other country withdrawn, suspended or cancelled by the authority which registered him.

The Council shall, before exercising its powers under subsection (1), notify the registered allied health professional concerned of its intention to take such action and shall give the registered allied health professional an opportunity to submit reasons why his name should not be removed.
(3)
Any person who is aggrieved by any order of the Council under subsection (1) may, within 30 days of being notified of the order, appeal to the Minister whose decision shall be final.
