TEACHERS REGISTRATION AND STANDARDS ACT 2004 - SECT 33

33—Cause for disciplinary action

        (1)         There is proper cause for disciplinary action against a teacher if—

            (a)         the teacher has improperly obtained registration as a teacher; or

            (b)         the teacher has been guilty of unprofessional conduct; or

            (ba)         a working with children check has not been conducted in relation to the teacher within the preceding 5 years; or

            (c)         the teacher is not a fit and proper person to be a registered teacher; or

            (d)         the teacher's registration or other authority to teach has been suspended, cancelled or otherwise withdrawn by another teacher regulatory authority.

        (2)         In determining whether there is proper cause for disciplinary action against a teacher, regard may be had to any evidence of the teacher's conduct that the Teachers Registration Board considers relevant (no matter when the conduct is alleged to have occurred), including information that existed at the time of registration, or extension of registration, of the teacher under this Act or the repealed provisions, regardless of whether that information was before or could have been before the registering body at that time.
