I was previously registered as a teacher in South Australia

If you previously held registration in South Australia, you will need to lodge an Application form for Teacher Registration.

A paperclip symbol appears in the application indicating the sections of the forms requiring supporting documents.

All supporting documents must be a correctly certified copy of the original document. All copies must be certified by the same person, whether that is a Justice of the Peace or Commissioner for taking Affidavits or Notary Public or Proclaimed Police Officer.

All supporting documents must be in English. Documents not in English must be translated by a translator accredited by the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI). Documents not in English and the translation must be lodged with the application form.

The following list indicates the supporting documents required to be included in the application form

• full birth certificate
• photographic identity e.g. drivers licence or passport
• name change document if applicable e.g. deed poll certificate, marriage certificate or decree nisi
• Official  academic transcript showing conferral or course completion for your completed undergraduate degree  and post graduate degrees
• mandatory notification training certificate for the full day (7hr) training course
• English language test if applicable
• an overseas criminal history record check if applicable
• proof of identity to satisfy the minimum requirements for a Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check

If your previous registration expired within the last 12 months and you had not completed 60 hours of professional learning and entered it on the portal, you must provide evidence of completion of at least 60 hours of professional learning aligned to the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers either within the last period of registration and/or within the twelve months following the expiry of that registration.

A Working with Children Check is now a mandatory requirement for anyone in South Australia who works with children. Find out more about this requirement here.

You will also need to provide payment of the appropriate fees.
