(b) The Teacher will be placed on the relevant level within Band 2 according to his or her teaching service (that is, not including a period of two years of full- time equivalent teaching service, which is deemed to be service on Band 1). The Teacher will remain on Band 2 for one year full-time equivalent teaching service, during which period the Teacher may apply for Proficient Teacher accreditation or registration or apply for mutual recognition (in the case of an interstate Teacher) with the teacher accreditation authority.
