Education and Training Reform Act 2006

Subject to subsection (6), an applicant who is qualified in accordance with section 2.6.8 except that the applicant has not achieved to the satisfaction of the Institute the standard of professional practice required for registration under section 2.6.8 is eligible to be provisionally registered.

Provisional registration is subject to the condition that the registered person will before the end of the second year after the registration or within any further period not exceeding 3 months authorised by the Institute achieve the standard of professional practice required for registration under section 2.6.8.

The provisional registration of a teacher continues in force for the period not exceeding 2 years that is specified by the Institute or for a further period not exceeding 3 months that is specified by the Institute or until the registered teacher achieves the standard of professional practice required for registration under section 2.6.8, whichever occurs first.

The Institute may impose any condition, limitation or restriction it thinks appropriate on the provisional registration of a teacher including a condition that the teacher provide information about criminal records within the period specified by the Institute.

The Institute may, upon application by the registered teacher, amend, vary or revoke any condition, limitation or restriction imposed under subsection (4).

A teacher who is provisionally registered under this section is not eligible for a further grant of provisional registration if the teacher has been provisionally registered for a period of 6 years unless the Institute is satisfied that special circumstances exist.

For the purposes of subsection (6), the period of 6 years may consist of consecutive or non‑consecutive periods of provisional registration.
