Teacher Registrations & Working With Children Checks
The Northern Territory requires both a local Teacher Registration and Working with Children Checks. Queensland requires a local teacher registration only. It is best to get onto this early as some schools will not consider your application until you are registered and hold a Working with Children Check, and the process can take quite some time.
