About the Board

 

The Teachers Registration Board of Tasmania is an independent statutory authority established under the Teachers Registration Act 2000.

The Board operates along similar lines to teacher regulatory bodies in other States and Territories; its main function is to register teachers working in Tasmanian Government, Catholic and Independent schools. Like other professions occupying positions of trust and responsibility, teachers are required to be registered in order to practice their profession. All practicing Tasmanian school teachers must be registered by the Board.
A registered teacher will:

• have appropriate teaching qualifications

• can communicate in the English language at a professional level

• be of good character and be fit to teach

• observe a code of professional ethics

• continue to participate in professional learning to build knowledge, skill and competence.

Teacher registration promotes community confidence in the work of Tasmanian teachers and validates registered teachers as highly skilled professionals.
