The amendment inserts a new section into the Act and provides that, where it comes to the Teaching Council's attention that a decision to sanction a registered teacher has been made in another state, the Teaching Council will, as soon as practicable, inform the Minister and the teacher's employer, where relevant. The amendment further provides for the Teaching Council, where it has reached a decision to sanction a teacher, to inform the appropriate body in another jurisdiction of that decision, where it has reason to believe the teacher is registered in that jurisdiction and that the body may not be aware of the decision.
