According to information published on the Queensland Department of Education website, an educator was fined $2,000 and ordered to pay $2,000 in court costs by the Brisbane Magistrates Court for continuing to work in an early childhood service after being prohibited by the Regulatory Authority.

providing education and care to children for an education and care service
being engaged as an educator, family day care educator, employee, contractor or staff member of, or volunteer at, an education and care service
carrying out any other activity relating to an education and care service.
