Welcome to the mid-year edition of Registration Buzz

This edition is packed full of information and resources that we hope you will find useful.

If you’re teaching in a South Australian school or early childhood setting, chances are you’ve had some interaction with the Teachers Registration Board of South Australia (the Board). But have you ever wondered what the Board does more broadly, and how it can support you throughout your teaching career? 

Our website is a great place to start. Think of it as your go-to hub for everything teacher registration including information about our services, answers to common questions, and insights into how we help uphold the standards of teaching across the state.

So, what does the Board do?

We’re a specialist regulatory body dedicated to ensuring South Australian students receive high-quality education from capable, professional, and ethical teachers.

Teacher registration verifies your qualifications and ensures a consistent standard across the profession. Our aim is to build and support a teaching profession that’s well-prepared, continuously growing, and consistently delivering excellence in practice. It’s what helps maintain trust in our education system.

While the Board primarily registers teachers, it also provides a wide range of other statutory functions that are mandated by legislation.

We also:

• Approve and accredit initial teacher education programs
• Support early career teachers as they transition into the classroom
• Assess suitability and qualifications for teaching roles
• Investigate concerns about conduct, competence, or fitness to teach, always putting the safety and wellbeing of children and young people first

Our role is not just regulatory. It’s protective, supportive, and future-focused. We’re here to help you thrive in your career while safeguarding the integrity of the teaching profession.
