Moving to (full) registration

To move from provisional to (full) registration, you need to:

• have taught for a total of at least 80 days in one or more Australian or New Zealand schools or early childhood (EC) services; and
• provide evidence that you have met the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (APST) at the Proficient Teacher level using the inquiry approach.

The inquiry approach 

The inquiry approach is used to gather evidence that you have developed your knowledge and practice to meet the Australian Professional Standards for teachers at the Proficient level. 

Learn more about the inquiry approach. 

The recommendation process

Once your evidence has been gathered, you'll need to present this evidence to a recommendation panel. The panel assesses your documented evidence of practice and makes a determination whether you have met the standards and their descriptors at the Proficient Teacher level. The panel chair then completes a recommendation report.
