Section 22 of the Teachers Registration and Standards Act 2004 (SA) is procedural and does not require the Board to conduct a separate inquiry; the relevant inquiry is under s 23. The Board may impose conditions under s 24 on the registration of a teacher with a physical disability to protect the welfare and best interests of children, and such conditions do not constitute discrimination under the Equal Opportunity Act 1984 (SA). The Court was divided on whether 'fit and proper person' in s 21(1)(c) encompasses physical disability, with that question left open for a case involving refusal of registration.
