Disciplinary Appeals Boards

About Us

The Disciplinary Appeals Boards was established under the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 to hear and determine appeals in relation to decisions of the Secretary made under section 2.4.59F (Unsatisfactory Performance) and section 2.4.61 (Misconduct) of the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 from employees in the teaching service of the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development.

The Disciplinary Appeals Boards is one of the independent statutory authorities associated with the Victorian Department of Education and Early Childhood Development's portfolio. The Disciplinary Appeals Boards will aim to support the achievements of Victorian Government intentions, expressed through legislation and Ministerial Orders.
