    Craig,

    They say in the UK that protection of function would prevent carers/friends/relatives from cutting people's toe nails.

    Australia DO have protection of function, although feel free to correct me on this fact if I am incorrect.

    How then have the Aussies managed to achieve protection of function and friends/relatives still allowed to cut toe nails?

    Probably because they not running a 'business' and accepting payment or reward for the service.

    ...however .... if aunty baked you a cake as a reward for cutting her nails, then technically .....

    Sorry Jacky,

    But Australian Podiatrists only have protection of title.
    There are currently only 3 or 4 restricted procedures under Australian Registration Law across all professions, being if I remember correctly

    Manipulation of the C Spine
    Dental Procedure
    Prescription of corrective lenses
    Dispensing of medicines

    Goodaye Jacky, I couldn't get past this post.

    Jacky, you may call an Aussie a Kiwi and he'll laugh,
    You can call a Kiwi an Aussie, he'll laugh too (a different sort of laugh) then do a Haka then smash ya!

    Yes, New Zealand is a totally different island (well, there are 2 main bits to it)... with a totally different flag... they have red stars on their flag & Australia has white stars. In fact after typing that last sentence I got more curious about the differences, thus here is a rundown on it (from this site)...

    I wouldn't have thought one would have to be "very discerning" or "very detail-oriented" to spot the differences. Anyway...
