Gaining (full) registration is a significant milestone in a teacher’s career and formally recognises their achievement of the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers at the Proficient career stage.

Timeframe to Transition

Provisionally registered teachers have one 5-year term of registration in which to complete the required satisfactory teaching service and transition to (full) registration.

It is a condition of your provisional registration that you will move to (full) registration as soon as possible.

If teachers are unable to meet the conditions of their provisional registration in their first 5-year term they will not be able to renew their registration again. Instead they will need to apply for provisional registration under a modified process.

You are expected to apply for (full) registration once you have:

completed one year of full-time (or part-time equivalent of 200 days) satisfactory teaching service in Australia or New Zealand within the last five years

AND

shared evidence with an evaluator to demonstrate meeting the Proficient level in each of the 7 Australian Professional Standards for Teachers. This must include observations of your teaching practice.

You will then need to complete an Application to Transition from Provisional to (full) Registration and submit it to the Board.

Satisfactory Teaching Service

For registration purposes, teaching service is considered to be employment as a:

• Teacher, Principal or Director in a school or pre-school in Australia or New Zealand
• Early Childhood Teacher in a long day care service in South Australia.

You will need to attach one or more statements of service to your application verifying your completion of one year of full-time (or the part-time equivalent of 200 days) satisfactory teaching service.
