The information on this page is specific to 'Limited registration for teaching or research' (s.69 of the National Law).
Medical practitioners with this type of registration will be likely to be working in a position that involves clinical teaching or research, for example, a university appointment. These practitioners can undertake a limited clinical practice that is relevant to their teaching or research role.
Medical practitioners with limited registration for teaching or research are required to:
- comply with a supervision plan if they are undertaking any clinical practice
- comply with a professional development plan
- authorise and facilitate the provision of regular reports from their supervisors to the Board about their safety and competence to practise
- perform satisfactorily in the teaching or research position and in any clinical practice undertaken
This is not a suitable type of registration for medical practitioners who are working towards general or specialist registration.
