Registration obtained by fraud
2.6.20 Registration obtained by fraud
S. 2.6.20(1) amended by No. 19/2014 s. 54.
If the Institute believes that the registration of a teacher or an early childhood teacher has been obtained by fraud or misrepresentation or that the qualifications upon which the teacher or early childhood teacher relied for registration have been withdrawn the Institute must conduct a hearing into the matter.
The Institute must give notice of the time and place of the hearing to the teacher.
The provisions applying to the conduct of a formal hearing under Division 12 apply to a hearing under this section as if the hearing under this section were a formal hearing.
If, at the end of the hearing, the Institute determines that the registration of the teacher has been obtained by fraud or misrepresentation or that the qualifications upon which the teacher has relied for registration have been withdrawn, the Institute may cancel the registration of the teacher or take any other action that may be taken under Division 12.
