Teachers in NSW are required to maintain their accreditation to be able to teach in NSW. All NSW teachers must meet the conditions of accreditation set out in the NSW Teacher Accreditation Manual.
Teachers must complete at least 100 hours of professional development (PD) in each maintenance period to support their practice and ongoing professional growth. Each maintenance period is either 5 years for teachers working full-time or 7 years for teachers working part-time or casual.
Teachers who continue to be eligible for registration and have complied with any conditions imposed on their registration will be granted registration renewal.
Professional Development requirements include 100 hours minimum of a broad range of professional development activities across the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers or the Australian Professional Standard for Principals, within the preceding five year period.
To maintain ongoing registration you must record and reflect on 20 hours of professional learning each year in the TQI Teacher Portal
You are required to undertake specific professional practice activities so you can maintain your registration. Twenty hours of PD must be completed within each registration year.
Special Needs Plan

South Australian teachers are required to complete a minimum of 100 hours of professional learning within a 5 year period referenced to the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers and recorded this learning on the Teachers Portal.

Full Registration – 100 hours
Limited or Provisional Registration granted for 3 years – 60 hours
Limited or Provisional Registration granted for less than 3 years – Calculated on a pro rata basis for the period since the registration was last granted or renewed, to the date of application at the rate of 20 hours for each year
Any person wanting to teach in a Tasmanian school, college or the TasTAFE must have registration or a limited authority to teach (LAT). Registered teachers in Tasmania must ensure they continue to participate in professional learning to build knowledge, skill and competence. While no minimum hours are currently specified, around 20 hours per year of relevant professional development activities would be reasonable.
Once you are a fully certificated teacher you need to renew your practising certificate every three years. To renew your registration you need to have completed satisfactory professional development within the last three years.
