Application form

Applicants must submit their Application for Teacher Employment form, directly to the Teacher Applicant Centre (TAC).

All applicants should consult the Guide to Teaching in Queensland State Schoolsand the Guide to Completing the Application for Teacher Employment Form prior to completing the Application for Teacher Employment form.

For graduate applicants it is recommended that you lodge your application form as early as possible in the the year you are completing your qualification to ensure you can be considered for offers of employment following the completion of your course.

For general applicants, submission of your application form for teacher employment can occur at any time.

Please note that the Application for Teacher Employment is separate from applying for teacher registration with the Queensland College of Teachers (QCT). The Application Form should be submitted at the same time graduates apply for teacher registration.

Once the application form and associated documentary evidence has been received, applicants will receive written notification from the TAC advising them to access information about the relevant regional processesfor the submission of the Professional Folioand to schedule an interview.

Applicants for specialist teaching areas such as Languages and Instrumental Music are required to undertake an additional proficiency assessment to confirm their eligibility for employment in these areas.

For further information about applying for teacher employment with the Department of Education and Training contact the Teacher Applicant Centre(TAC) by email or via telephone 1300 TEACHING (1300 832 244).
