The Optometrists Regulations 1965 are amended:

(a) by inserting at the end of Regulation 28 (a) the word “or”;

(b) by inserting at the end of Regulation 28 (c) the following word and paragraph:

; or

(d) any course conducted by a university, college or other institution in a place outside New South Wales which leads to the grant (by any person or body authorised under the law of that place to grant it) of an authorisation to use drugs in the practice of optometry and which, in the opinion of the Board, is equivalent to a course referred to in paragraph (a) or (b).

1992—No. 634

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Optometrists Act empowers the Board of Optometrical Registration to prescribe courses of instruction in the use of drugs in refraction and examination of the eyes, the successful completion of which will qualify a registered optometrist for the issue of a certificate authorising the use of drugs in the practice of

optometry. The object of this Regulation is to prescribe, for that purpose, courses of
instruction in the use of drugs which lead to the grant of such authorisation in other
jurisdictions.
