We announce our paperless invoice process for 2018 and provide PRTs with updated examples of evidence of practice for those moving to (full) registration.

Through video, we explain what it means for teachers to be professional in the online world. Watching and reflecting on this video can contribute towards PD hours for registration renewal. This also applies to our podcast on sexual relationships.

We also want to hear your stories of teaching and learning excellence; invite all casual relief and emergency teachers to join our CRT support mailing list; and highlight our new multimedia webpages.
