Regulation 63

If a medical officer or any person duly authorised certifies that any teacher or pupil should be excluded from any specified school because the teacher or pupil is suffering or has recently suffered from an infectious or contagious disease or because the teacher or pupil has been in contact with or living in the same house as a person suffering or having recently suffered from an infectious or contagious disease, the supervisor must cause that teacher or pupil to be excluded from the school for such period as the medical officer or the authorised person may consider necessary.

The Director-General may at any time require a registered teacher to present himself or herself for examination to a medical officer or to any medical practitioner approved by the Director‑General and the supervisor if required by the Director‑General must cause the teacher to be excluded from the school until the examination has taken place and until a medical officer has certified that the teacher may be permitted to return.

A supervisor, manager or teacher must not knowingly admit to the school in respect of which he or she is registered any teacher or pupil excluded from any other school under paragraphs (1) and (2) during the period of such exclusion.

If in any school there has been reported or found a case of infectious or contagious disease among the teachers, pupils or employees of that school, the Director-General may on the advice of a medical officer order the closure of that school for such period as the Director-General may consider necessary.
