Section 28
Removal of name from Register of Oral Health Therapists
of Dental Registration Act 1999
(1)
Despite the provisions of Part 5, the Council may order the removal from the Register of Oral Health Therapists of the name of a registered oral health therapist if it comes to the knowledge of the Council that the registered oral health therapist —
has contravened any condition or restriction to which his or her registration as an oral health therapist is subject;
has obtained his or her registration by a fraudulent or an incorrect statement;
has had his or her qualification for registration under this Act withdrawn or cancelled by the authority through which it was acquired or by which it was awarded; or
has had his or her registration as an oral health therapist in any other country withdrawn, suspended or cancelled by the authority which registered him or her.
(2)
The Council must, before exercising its powers under subsection (1), notify the registered oral health therapist concerned of its intention to take such action and must give the registered oral health therapist an opportunity to submit reasons, within such period as the Council may determine, why his or her name should not be removed.
(3)
Any person aggrieved by an order under subsection (1) may, within 30 days of being notified of the order, appeal to the Minister whose decision is final.[21H
