Registration as a dental technician under Mutual Recognition Under the provisions of the Mutual Recognition Act 1992 and the Trans-Tasman Mutual Recognition Act 1996 a person who has a current authority to practise as a dental technician in another jurisdiction of Australia, or New Zealand, is entitled to be registered to practice as a dental technician in New South Wales. Mutual recognition provides an additional and alternative avenue to the Dental Technicians Registration Act for obtaining registration. Application procedures Information concerning registration is available from the Secretary of the Board. The documentary requirements, which must accompany the application form, are outlined in the form. Upon lodgement of a completed application "deemed" registration is granted. Deemed registration entitles the applicant to practice as a dental technician in New South Wales in accordance with the Dental Technicians Registration Act 1975. Applicants will receive a certificate of "deemed registration" indicating the duration of and any conditions that apply to their practice. Deemed registration continues until substantive registration is granted, or until it is cancelled or refused by the Board. Deemed registrants must be notified of such decisions within one calendar month from the deemed registration date. The Board's decision is subject to appeal to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal. Deemed registration automatically leads to substantive registration within one month of the grant of deemed registration if a written notice to the contrary has not been issued within this month by the Board. Substantive registration may be postponed or refused in cases where, for example, statements made in the application/notice are found to be materially false or misleading. Applicants granted substantive registration will be issued with a certificate of registration, and in due course with an annual renewal notice.
