Education and Training Amendment Bill

Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.

This bill amends the Education and Training Act 2020 to clarify safety checking processes for children’s workers and school employees, extend the ban on charging trainees a compulsory student services fee by 1 year, emphasise that only persons holding a teaching position are able to use physical restraint, and amend certain other provisions in regard to rules around intervention by the Secretary for Education and regulation-making powers around licensing of service providers.
