These Commonwealth Acts allow people licensed in certain occupations in a local jurisdiction to carry on the occupations in another local jurisdiction and provide an alternate way of applying for licences in the ACT or another local jurisdiction. Because of the Self-Government Act, s 28, the requirements for licences under this Act cannot validly require anything of people being licensed under the Commonwealth Acts that would be inconsistent with those Acts. Accordingly, provisions of this Act, such as the requirements for applications, do not apply to the licensing of people under the Commonwealth Acts. Also, the Commonwealth Acts set out when conditions may be placed on people licensed under those Acts. For more information, see the Commonwealth Acts.
