Registration

Information for teachers

Anyone who wishes to teach in Queensland schools must be registered with the Queensland College of Teachers. Registration ensures that a high standard of preparation, conduct and practice is upheld. Standards which must be met relate to qualifications and suitability to teach. To satisfy the requirements of the Education (Teacher Registration) Act 1988, criminal record checks are conducted on all applicants prior to admission to the QCT Register. Further information can be found at www.qct.edu.au 

Accreditation

Accreditation is a process undertaken by Catholic School Authorities that recognises competency to teach in a Catholic school and to teach Religion in a Catholic school. You are not required to have Accreditation prior to applying. For further information, please view the Accreditation Information Sheet.

Appointment of Staff

All Principals and Teachers are appointed by the Diocesan Director of Catholic Education. Secondary Colleges recruit their own teaching staff. Applications for these positions should be made directly to the college of your choice. Non-teaching positions in Catholic schools are appointed by the school Principal who is delegated this authority.
