of Dental Registration Act 1999
(1)
Where, upon due inquiry into any complaint or information referred to it, an Interim Orders Committee is satisfied that it is necessary for the protection of members of the public or is otherwise in the public interest, or is in the interests of a registered dentist or registered oral health therapist, for his or her registration to be suspended or to be made subject to conditions, the Interim Orders Committee may make an order —
that his or her registration in the appropriate register be suspended for any period not exceeding 18 months that may be specified in the order (called in this Division an interim suspension order); or
that his or her registration be conditional on his or her compliance, during any period not exceeding 18 months that may be specified in the order, with any specified requirements that the Interim Orders Committee thinks fit to impose (called in this Division an order for interim restricted registration).
