National occupational licensing laws update

National occupational licensing laws updateThe Occupational Licensing National Law Bill 2010 was introduced to the Victorian Legislative Assembly and passed its first reading on 10 August 10. Victoria is the host jurisdiction for the National Licensing System (NLS) legislation. Following the passing of the legislation in Victoria, all remaining states and territories will pass legislation that makes the Victorian legislation law in their jurisdiction. To progress this national initiative the bill must now also pass the second reading in the Victorian Legislative Assembly and the Legislative Council. The bill is available from the Victorian legislation and parliamentary documents website
