All renewing teachers need to be aware of mandatory requirements that have commenced since their last renewal.

In order to renew your registration, you need to have completed all of your renewal requirements and submitted your form by 31 December 2020.

This year additional items you will need to provide are:

• proof of your identity with your application
• a Working with Children Check (WWCC)

To assist the timely processing of your renewal of registration this information can be provided to us before the renewal period.

Identity requirements

You must provide your proof of identity document(s) photocopied on to a Linkage Verification form. You must then take these to a Justice of the Peace together with the original documents and have these certified and your ID linkage acknowledged. You can find examples of identity documents and the Linkage Verification form under Proof of Identity on the Renewal Requirements page on the TRB website. Please send your completed ID linkage form to renewal@trb.sa.edu.au.

Working with Children Check

From 1 July 2019, the Working with Children Check (WWCC) became a mandatory requirement for anyone in South Australia who works with children. You can find out more about the WWCC on the TRB website.

This mandatory requirement is being transitioned for teachers as they renew.

You will need to apply for a WWCC through the Department of Human Services.

We recommend you apply for a WWCC early as the processing time on a WWCC can be up to six weeks and in certain circumstances longer. Please forward the outcome email received from DHS to renewal@trb.sa.edu.au.

All teachers were sent an email regarding all of the renewal requirements in April 2020. If you did not receive the email or you have any specific questions please ring 8253 9700 for more information.
