You get a provisional licence for a certain time, up to 12 months. It can be renewed for another 12 months if needed. The Registrar decides if your provisional licence can be renewed. They can refuse to renew it if they want to. You can lose your provisional licence if the Board or Registrar cancels it. The Board can cancel it in ways described in section 57(1). The Registrar can cancel it if you do not meet the licence terms or after they decide on your application for registration or a practising licence.
