- Some practitioners brought interstate for the purposes of a medico-legal examination may not be registered to practice in the State or Territory where the examination or treatment is to take place. This means that they are not legally qualified medical practitioners for the purposes of the SRC Act in that particular State or Territory.
- Each State or Territory has its own legislation which deals with the registration of medical practitioners. In each case, the legislation provides, either expressly or by implication, that medical practitioners may only practice medicine, or provide medical services or treatment, in a particular State or Territory if they are registered to practice in that State or Territory.
- Section 25 of the Mutual Recognition Act 1992 (CTH) provides that a person who lodges a notice under section 19 of the Act with a local registration authority of a State or Territory is, pending the grant or refusal of registration, taken to be registered.
- An interstate legally qualified medical practitioner who conducts a medico-legal examination may be in breach of the particular State or Territory's registration legislation unless she or he has been registered under the relevant legislation for that State or Territory or has lodged a notice with the relevant State or Territory authority in accordance with section 19 of the Mutual Recognition Act 1992 (CTH).
