What is the difference between renewal of Registration and transitioning to (full) Registration?

Renewal of registration is:

• continuing your registration past the next expiry date, without which you cannot teach;
• a requirement for all registered teachers, regardless of registration status;
• undertaken in the renewal period at least one month prior to the expiry date.

Transition to (full) registration is:

• for changing your registration status;
• a requirement for teachers with Provisional Registration;
• usually completed only once; and
• undertaken at a time when the (full) registration requirements have been met.

On approval of your Application to Transition from Provisional to (full) Registration only your registration status will change – not the expiry date – so you will still need to renew your registration at least one month before its next expiry date.
