para 34 — from [2025] FWC 263 FWC
It is the responsibility of the holder of a professional licence or registration (such as an EN) to be aware of the current standards for practice and to operate in accordance with those standards. It is not the duty of the employer to educate the employee on those standards, although the employer must ensure the standards are upheld.
