#### 5A Application to religious practitioners and religious institutions
If a \*religious practitioner:
(a) does an activity, or a series of activities:
(i) in pursuit of his or her vocation as a religious practitioner; and
(ii) as a member of a religious institution; and
(b) does not do the activity, or series of activities, as an employee or agent of the religious institution or another entity;
this Act applies as if the activity, or series of activities, had been done by the religious institution and not by the religious practitioner.
> Note: This will mean that such an activity will be an enterprise of the religious institution and not an enterprise of the religious practitioner.
