Conditions on non-practising registration
Under section 7A(2) of the VPA, a grant of nonpractising registration is subject to any conditions, limitations or restrictions imposed by the Board on the registration. It is the Board's standard practice to impose conditions on non-practising registration. Persons holding non-practising registration in Victoria:
- may not carry out veterinary procedures including treatment of own animals in Victoria
- may not provide veterinary services in Victoria
- may not purchase, possess, prescribe or supply scheduled drugs under the Drugs, Poisons and Controlled Substances legislation of Victoria
- may not exercise authority requiring registration as a veterinary practitioner in Victoria.
Note re above: a veterinary practitioner with non-practising registration cannot witness a statutory declaration or certify documents. Under Australian laws, to do those things a person must be currently licensed or registered to practise in the occupation of veterinary practitioner.

Note re specialists: A veterinary practitioner who holds endorsement as a specialist under section 8 of the VPA and who has been granted non-practising registration may describe themselves as a "non-practising registered specialist" but may not offer any level of veterinary procedure or veterinary services in Victoria - either general or specialist. This includes the provision of specialist consulting services.
