Welcome to the last edition of Registration Buzz for 2021, a year that has been challenging on many levels, but also filled with change and inspiration.

We appreciate it is a busy time of year for all teachers and our TRB staff with the annual registration renewal period opening in October (for teachers whose registration is due to expire in January 2022).

Thank you to those who have already logged in and completed their renewal. We always aim to make the renewal process as easy as possible through the online Teachers Portal.

This year renewing teachers will be registering for a five-year term of registration following changes to the Teachers Registration and Standards Act 2004, which came into effect from July this year. Teachers will have a choice of paying their annual fee upfront for the full five years, or for between one and five years. For more information on fees, click here.

If you are due to renew, please make sure your application, and all other requirements, are submitted on the Teachers Portal before 31 December 2021. A late fee will apply for late applications.

If you hold Provisional Registration and you are ready to transition to full Registration, please lodge your Application to transition to full registration as soon as it is completed. This can be submitted before renewal or at the same time as your renewal.

Over the holiday period, the TRB office will remain open throughout Christmas and New Year (other than public holidays), with foyer staff to assist. Please be mindful of Covid rules if entering the building and do not attend the office if you have symptoms of Covid-19, have visited a hotspot, or are awaiting a test result.

As we now move toward the end of 2021, we wish you all a safe and happy holiday period and an enjoyable start to the new year in 2022.
