EXPLANATORY NOTE

The object of this Proclamation is to commence the uncommenced amendment to the Psychologists Act 1989 contained in the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act (No. 3) 1992.

The amendment narrows the current exclusion of medical practitioners from the prohibition against unregistered persons representing themselves as psychologists. The new provision states that the prohibition does not operate to restrict a medical practitioner in the practice of medicine.
