1	Name of instrument

This instrument is the Health Professionals Exemption 2007 (No 1).

2	Commencement

The instrument commences on the day after notification.

3	Determination 

I determine that a health professional who is registered in a local jurisdiction as a physiotherapist or as a chiropractor or as an osteopath is exempt from Section 72 of the Health Professionals Act 2004 for the requirement to register in the ACT when that health professional is visiting the ACT to provide services to a visiting sporting team or when that health professional is visiting the ACT to attend a training activity. I determine that the exemption applies only when that visiting health professional could lawfully have provided the service in his or her local jurisdiction and only when the service is covered by insurance.  The exemption does not apply to services provided to persons who are not members of the visiting sporting team or who are not participants in the training activity.
