| Section 133 | Anyone advertising a regulated health service must meet section 133 of the National Law, the title and practice protection provisions in sections 113 to 120, and all other relevant legislation including the Australian Consumer Law and therapeutic goods law. Registered practitioners must also follow their Board's code of conduct. A breach of therapeutic goods or drugs and poisons legislation can ground disciplinary action even though the Boards do not enforce that legislation.
