After conducting a formal investigation into a complaint the Board may:

1. Dismiss the complaint against the veterinarian
2. Find the veterinarian guilty of unsatisfactory professional conduct
3. Find the veterinarian guilty of professional misconduct

If the Board finds a veterinarian guilty of unsatisfactory professional conduct or professional misconduct the Board may:

1. Reprimand or caution the veterinarian
2. Impose a fine on the veterinarian
3. Impose conditions on the veterinarian’s registration
4. Require the veterinarian to complete a specified course, or take advice from or report to specified persons

If the Board finds a veterinarian guilty of professional misconduct of a kind sufficiently serious to justify suspension or cancellation of the veterinarian’s registration, the Board must apply to the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (Tribunal) for a disciplinary finding against the veterinarian.

A veterinarian may apply to the Tribunal for a review of a decision made by the Board.
