To be registered as a teacher, an applicant must have recognised teacher education qualifications, consented to a Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check undertaken by the Board, and be determined a fit and proper person to be a teacher.

The Board imposes conditions on a teacher’s registration. Section 24 of the Act describes the conditions applicable to all teachers. These conditions are detailed on this website under the heading Obligation to Report and are included on the back of the 'Certificate of Teacher Registration' which is issued to each registered teacher.

The Board must decide if a person is fit and proper to be registered as a teacher. The Board must be satisfied that a teacher is honest, competent, knowledgeable, skilful, and is of good character.
