I discussed this with the Registrar and he made some good points.
“I think allowing permission to do it just once could set a bad precedent. Could also put us and or a registrant in a bad light with respect to third parties such as Insurance (if they respond to a claim made by the client), and so forth. If she was reinstated, that would show up on her online listing for the relevant period (would it not)? If $ is an issue, maybe reinstatement could be for less than a month and prorated accordingly?”nTherefore, I would say to the psychologist that you looked into / consulted on this matter, but Policy would not allow this work to be conducted while one is on the Inactive Register. However, in these circumstances, we could certainly place you back on the full register for a limited time to do this work. If you would like to do this then we could arrange for you to pay the pro-rated registration fee for one month ($67.08),I think if a registrant were subpoenaed to court we would consider it. But not as sure here.
Good of her to check in and I appreciate the tendency to accommodate in this case, but this would run afoul of the inactive register. I am thinking she could just pay a pro-rated fee for one month only ($67.08) and do it all above board, so to speak. Leave it with me and I will talk with the Registrar.
