7. Treatments by health care providers regulated under State and Territory laws
(1) If a treatment is provided in a State or Territory where a law of that State or Territory prohibits the provision of the treatment without a permission or approval, or registration, to provide a treatment of that kind, the standard for the treatment is that the health care provider providing the treatment must have the permission or approval, or be registered, under that law.
(2) A person who has a permission, approval or registration as required by subrule (1) but also provides treatment of a type referred to in rule 8, 9 or 10 which is not of a kind covered by the permission, approval or registration must comply with rule 8, 9 or 10, as the case may be, in respect of the other treatment.
Note: This rule covers medical practitioners, allied health professionals and others who meet requirements imposed under State and Territory laws in respect of the provision of certain health services.
