Nursing Regulations (ACT)

The Nursing Regulations were the subject of amendments made under the Nurses Registration Ordinance 1933-1967. The amendments were notified in the Commonwealth Gazette and came into effect on 27 July 1967. The regulations concern the amendments to the Nursing Regulations 1967, No. 6. The amendments include changes to the notice requirement for motions, the Register of Nurses, and the currency conversions.

The legal issues before the court were whether the amendments to the Nursing Regulations were valid and whether they complied with the Nurses Registration Ordinance 1933-1967. The court had to determine whether the amendments were consistent with the enabling legislation and whether they adhered to the prescribed procedures for making regulations.

The court found that the amendments to the Nursing Regulations were valid and complied with the Nurses Registration Ordinance 1933-1967. The court held that the amendments were consistent with the enabling legislation and adhered to the prescribed procedures for making regulations. The court also found that the amendments were necessary to bring the regulations up to date with the decimal currency and to reflect changes in the roles and responsibilities of the Chairman and Deputy Chairman.

The court did not make any orders as the amendments to the Nursing Regulations were found to be valid and compliant with the enabling legislation.
