Complaints made to the Board by members of the public regarding the conduct, capacity or competence of teachers and persons holding a Special Authority to Teach are managed in accordance with the Board’s Policy for Managing Complaints/Reports about Teachers.
The Information Sheet - Complaints can be used as a guide to determine whether or not your complaint is one the TRB can deal with and/or falls within the provisions of the Act.
To make a notification to the Board regarding the conduct, capacity or competence of a registered teacher, a person will be required to submit a formal written complaint using the Complaint About a Teacher Form. Any relevant documentation containing supporting evidence should also be provided.
Complaint About a Teacher Forms should be emailed to the Board at investigations@trb.sa.edu.au.
Alternatively, a person may provide a letter of complaint detailing the allegations and attaching all relevant information and posting this (marked "Private & Confidential") to:
The Registrar
Teachers Registration Board of South Australia
PO Box 3649
RUNDLE MALL SA 5000
Initial enquiries regarding complaints can be made via telephone +61 8 8226 5984.
The Board will usually notify the teacher that a complaint has been made about them. However, the Board may delay advising the teacher about a complaint in certain circumstances.
