The Institute is updating its information management system and website. The changes are expected to be implemented later this year.

What will this mean for teachers?

Teachers and new applicants will have password access via a portal to a secure section of the Institute’s website. You will be able to update your address and contact details online via your portal.

Many forms and applications can be submitted directly via the Internet, such as application for fee waiver, application for renewal of registration and application to move from provisional to full registration.

Some forms and applications will still need certified documentary evidence to be mailed to the Institute, but the actual application information can be submitted using your portal. This way you can be sure the details are entered correctly and there’ll be no waiting while a staff member types these in for you, as is presently the case with applications for registration and consent forms for a national criminal history record check.

Not only but also …

In addition to their current password access, principals will be able to update their school’s address and contact details. For schools, all online password communications will be via the portal – including recommendations for full registration.

Once the changes are fully implemented, through your portal you will also be able to:

• check past correspondence from the Institute
• receive Institute correspondence by email, rather than in hard copy, if you prefer
• register for Institute seminars.
