Education and Training Reform Act 2006

Except as provided in section 2.2.11, education in Government schools must be secular and not promote any particular religious practice, denomination or sect.

Subsection (1) does not prevent the inclusion of general religious education in the curriculum of a Government school.

A Government school teacher must not provide religious instruction other than the provision of general religious education in any Government school building.

In this section general religious education means education about the major forms of religious thought and expression characteristic of Australian society and other societies in the world.
