Australian teachers and educational providers operate in a significantly different legal world from their predecessors.
Traditionally education was largely a matter for the states and territories, but now the federal government is a major direct and indirect regulator of many aspects of modern schools and universities. This imposes a new layer of regulation across the two sectors and a maze of commonwealth, state and territory acts, regulations, policies and case law for the modern educational administrator to deal with.
This work is an essential and practical reference in understanding this maze that confronts the modern educator and those who advise them.
