RE-REGISTRATION UNDER THE OSTEOPATHS ACT 2001 Schedule 1, clause 28(1) of the Osteopaths Act 2001 provides that a person whose name has been removed from the Register for failure to pay the annual registration fee is entitled to re-registration if the person pays to the Board any unpaid annual registration fee or fees together with any applicable late payment fee. Schedule 1, clause 28(2) of the Act provides that a late payment fee is applicable when more than 3 months have elapsed since the person's name was removed from the Register. The late payment fee is such amount as the Board determines [$285.00]. Schedule 1, clause 28(3) of the Act provides that the Board may waive payment of a late payment fee in a particular case if the Board thinks it appropriate to do so. Schedule 1, clause 28(4) of the Act provides that the entitlement to re-registration is an entitlement to registration on the same terms and subject to the same conditions (if any) as applied to the person's registration immediately before the removal of his or her name from the Register. Schedule 1, clause 28(5) of the Act provides that the Board may refuse to register a person under this clause if the Board is of the opinion, following an inquiry under Part 3 of this Schedule, that the person is not competent to practise osteopathy or is not of good character. Schedule 1, clause 28(6) of the Act provides that a person registered pursuant to an entitlement to re-registration under this clause is taken to have been so registered on and from the day the person's name was removed from the Register or on and from such later day as the Board determines and notifies to the person. Schedule 1, clause 28(7) of the Act provides that an entitlement to re-registration under this clause does not override any other provision of this Act pursuant to which a person's name is authorised or required to be removed from the Register.
