State of Victoria (Department of Education and Early Childhood Development) Exemption – Dec 2012

About the intervention

Concerns an exemption application by DEECD to allow it to advertise for and employ a male integration aide to work with a student with a moderate to severe intellectual disability.

The submissions consider the exceptions relating to the care of children (s25), genuine occupational requirements (s26) and acts done with statutory authority (s75). The submissions also consider reasonable adjustments under s40 of the Equal Opportunity Act 2010, and the Tribunal’s Charter obligations particularly in relation to the protection of children (s17 of the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006). The Tribunal granted the exemption on 19 December 2012.
