6  Significant risk exemption
(1)    For the purposes of paragraph 42S(1)(a) of the Act, registrations under Part 2.6 of the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 of Victoria, including the following registrations, are excluded from the operation of automatic deemed registration in Victoria until 1 July 2025 for the reasons set out in subclause (2):
           (a)    registration as a teacher under Division 3 of that Part;
           (b)    registration as an early childhood teacher under Division 3A of that Part.
(2)    For the purposes of subsection 42S(2) of the Act, there are currently insufficient information sharing powers between state and territory teacher regulatory authorities to address potential risks to the health and safety of children in Victorian schools and early childhood services if automatic deemed registration were to become operational in Victoria for teachers and early childhood teachers. This presents a significant risk to the health and safety of children who attend those services as members of the public.
