63 Notification of principal place of practice

(1) If an applicant for or holder of an Australian registration certificate reasonably intends that this jurisdiction will be his or her principal place of practice, he or she must notify the designated local regulatory authority of that intention—

(a) on application for the grant or renewal of an Australian registration certificate; and

(b) within 14 days after his or her principal place of practice changes, if that change coincides with the move to this jurisdiction from another jurisdiction of the permanent office in or through which the holder engages in legal practice.

(2) The designated local regulatory authority may reject the notification if it considers that it is reasonably likely that another jurisdiction will be the person’s principal place of practice.
