(1) Because of the Mutual Recognition Act and subject to that Act—

(a) this Act applies to an equivalent interstate licensee in the same way this Act applies to a registration holder, and

(b) a reference to a registration includes a reference to the automatic deemed registration of an equivalent interstate licensee.

(2) This Act must, as far as practicable, be interpreted in a way that is compatible with—

(a) the Mutual Recognition Act, and

(b) the Trans-Tasman Mutual Recognition Act 1997 of the Commonwealth.

(3) In this section—

equivalent interstate licensee, in relation to a registration, means a person who, because of the Mutual Recognition Act, is authorised to carry on an occupation in New South Wales that would otherwise require the person to hold the registration.

Mutual Recognition Act means the Mutual Recognition Act 1992 of the Commonwealth.
