1. Agency overview

Legislation—Pre 1 August 1999

The essential differences under the pre 1 August 1999 legislation are as follows:

• the Director did not have the same powers of investigation
• a Determining Officer determined the sanctions
• the person under review could take their case to a Professional Services Review Tribunal after the sanctions were established.

As at 30 June 2005, there was one pre 1 August 1999 case under appeal to the Federal Court.
