This varies from state to state, and whether or not the school is a state school or a private school.

  • Legislation to ban corporal punishment in all state schools was introduced in New South Wales in 1990, and this extended to private schools in 1997.
  • It was banned in the ACT in 1997, and although the legislation states it is banned in "all schools", it does not explicitly include private schools.
  • Tasmania banned corporal punishment in both public and private schools in 1999.
  • Victoria first banned corporal punishment in public schools in 1989, and this extended to non-government schools in 2006.
  • Queensland banned corporal punishment in state schools in 1995, but it is still legal in private schools.
  • Corporal punishment in government schools in South Australia ended in 1991, but there are still moves to ban it in non-government schools. Interestingly, the legislation covering corporal punishment in both SA and Qld state schools is not actually legally binding, according to a paper published in May 2010.
  • Western Australia abolished corporal punishment in state schools in 1999, but this does not extend to students in private schools.
  • Corporal punishment is not explicitly banned in the Northern Territory, but there are moves in this direction.

In UK; 1986 in state schools and 1988 in private schools. However, parental corporal punishment is still allowed, except in Scotland. Corporal punishment has not been abolished in the United States. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, between 1 and 2 million students are paddled each year in US Schools. Most states have limitations, such as that there must be a witness, and that students may be struck only with wooden paddles of certain widths. Each private school makes its own decision about corporal punishment. When I was in Catholic school in the 80s, paddling was still very common and was sometimes administered to an entire class or group for general misbehavior.
