The Board’s Power to Require Practitioners Sit an Examination
The main purpose of the Health Practitioners Registration Act 2005 (the Act) is to protect
the public by providing for the registration of practitioners of Chinese medicine
(including acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine) and dispensers of Chinese herbs,
as well as by providing for investigations into the professional conduct and fitness to
practise of registered practitioners.
From 1 January 2005, Section 5(1)(c) of the Act empowers the Board to require a person, who has not
satisfied requirements stipulated in Sections 5(1)(a), (b) or (d), to pass an examination set by,
or on behalf of the Board before the Board grants that person general registration.
The examination is set to assess competence to practise, before registration may be granted.
Detailed Guidelines are available in PDF format.

If examination and registration is sought in one division prior to the other e.g. acupuncture first then Chinese
herbal medicine (or vice versa), it will be necessary for the applicant to sit two clinical examinations. As
these would be held on separate occasions, a fee of $500 applies each clinical exam.
