### sec.81 Register of local practising certificates
A regulatory authority must, in the way it considers appropriate, keep a register of the names of Australian lawyers to whom it grants local practising certificates.
The register must—
state conditions, if any, imposed on a local practising certificate relating to the certificate holder engaging in legal practice; and
include other particulars prescribed under a regulation.
A regulatory authority must ensure that an up-to-date version of its register is available, without charge, for public inspection—
at the authority’s principal place of business during normal working hours; or
on the authority’s internet site or an internet site identified on the authority’s internet site.
However, a regulation may provide for a person’s name not to be included in the register or for that person’s name as it appears in the register not to be available for public inspection.
A regulation may provide for a system of applying to a regulatory authority for the suppression of a person’s name if the person is being stalked by a previous client or has been otherwise threatened with violence by someone.
