EDUCATION AND TRAINING REFORM ACT 2006 - SECT 2.6.35C

Report of health assessment

    (1)     The assessing health practitioner must give a report of his or her assessment to the investigator.

    (2)     The investigator must—

        (a)     give a copy of the report to the registered teacher within 7 days after receiving the report unless subsection (3) applies; and

        (b)     discuss the report with the registered teacher, and, in the case of an adverse finding in the report, the possible ways of dealing with that finding.

    (3)     If the report contains information of a medical or psychiatric nature concerning the registered teacher and it appears to the investigator that the disclosure of that information to the teacher might be prejudicial to the physical or mental health or wellbeing of the teacher, the investigator may decide not to give that information to the teacher but to give it instead to a registered health practitioner nominated by the Institute or that teacher.

    (4)     Before acting under subsection (3), the investigator must report to the Institute and, if the investigator is not a registered health practitioner and the Institute is of the opinion that it is necessary for the investigation of the matter to be continued by a registered health practitioner, the Institute may appoint a registered health practitioner as an investigator to continue the investigation.
