Registration Requirements to Change from 2013

From 2013, under changes endorsed by all Australian Education Ministers, teachers registered in Queensland will use the National Professional Standards for Teachers. During 2012, the Professional Standards for Queensland Teachers will continue to be used in Queensland for all registration purposes. From 2013, there will also be changes to the amount of teaching required for recency of practice and the amount of continuing professional development (CPD) that must be completed every five years for renewal of registration purposes. These changes do not commence until 2013, which means that for 2012, all teachers must continue to meet current requirements, which include at least 30 hours of CPD per year for teachers working full-time.
