Health Practitioner Regulation National Law on the standards library
When a Board requires it by written notice, a practitioner provides evidence of identity; failure without reasonable excuse is not an offence but grounds for action. The Board may verify the document with its issuer.
- Copies of identity documents provided in response to the Board notice, with the date sent
- Notice ignored because it arrived at an outdated correspondence address
