WRC rejects teacher’s complaints over workplace penalisation and protected disclosures

The WRC found a teacher’s complaints about workplace penalisation and protected disclosures were not well founded. The decision was dated 30 March 2026. The teacher said disciplinary proceedings and other workplace actions followed concerns raised about safety, procedures and bullying. The school disputed the allegations. The officer found no registered employment agreement or sectoral employment order applied to school teachers for the Industrial Relations Act complaint, and that the Protected Disclosures Act complaint duplicated complaints in another WRC case.
