Start ordering verifications

With Kinatico, you get:

  • Confirmed with the authority in the teacher’s state or territory.
  • Returns the status and, where the register shows them, the expiry date and any conditions.
  • Searched by a verification officer, with a screenshot recorded.
  • Monitored monthly on our monitored plans.

Organisations require a Kinatico Compliance account. Registration is a separate requirement from a working with children clearance. 

How it works

What you’ll need

What you get back 

  • Registered and current, with the type of registration where the state records it. 

  • Registered, with conditions. 

  • Not registered, lapsed or cancelled. 

  • Not found against the details provided. 

NOTE 

Each state’s register shows slightly different information. The state pages list the exact outcomes for each. 

Teacher registration by state 

Why there’s no single answer 

Teacher regulation is handled state by state, and the systems don’t line up. New South Wales accredits teachers through the NSW Education Standards Authority rather than registering them. Victoria renews registration every year, by 30 September. Queensland, Tasmania and the Northern Territory run a five-year registration cycle kept current by an annual fee. South Australian registration runs for up to five years and expires in January. 

Queensland also approves teachers under Permission to Teach, and Victoria has Permission to Teach as a limited authorisation. The state pages explain what each register returns. 

On our monitored plans, we monitor the register every month and alert you to a lapse or a new condition, including for teachers already on staff. On the Verified plan, it’s a point-in-time verification you can re-run whenever you choose.
