If a medical panel appointed under this Part requires a registered teacher to undergo a health assessment, the teacher must be assessed by a registered health practitioner who is appointed by the panel.
Note
Under section 2.6.41F, a medical panel may direct a registered teacher to undergo a health assessment to assess the teacher's ability to practise as a teacher if the panel believes that the teacher may have an impairment.
The Institute must pay for the assessment.
The assessing health practitioner must give a report of his or her assessment to the panel.
The panel may discuss the report with the registered teacher, and, in the case of an adverse finding in the report, the possible ways of dealing with that finding.
