What is my Statement of Service?
A Statement of Service is an official document from your employer that shows the duration, and fraction of your employment. You might be asked to supply this to the Teachers Registration Board for a number of reasons, including when you apply to transition from provisional to (full) registration. You may need more than one Statement of Service if you have had multiple employers.
This document is provided to you by your employer(s). The Teachers Registration Board cannot access your employment records.
If you have worked at a Department for Education site you will be able to download this form yourself from the Employee Information Kiosk (EIK) as a PDF file.
For employment in Catholic schools, Independent schools, and Long Day Care centres you will need to ask the appropriate person (e.g. Finance Officer, Human Resources Officer, Deputy Principal, Director) at each site for a statement of service.
The statement of service needs to be printed on the site’s official letterhead and reflect:
- Your full name and registration number
- Your position title(s)
- Start date, end date, and fraction of time (FTE) for each of your appointments (temporary relief teaching service can be reflected as the total number of TRT days worked per year)
- Any periods of leave without pay taken during your employment
- Name, title and dated signature of the person who prepared the statement.
If you are teaching in another Australian state or territory or in New Zealand please check with the relevant local authority about gaining a statement of service from your employer(s).
