Mandatory Requirements for Teacher Education Students in Australia

All mandatory checks must be completed a semester BEFORE professional experience placements. These checks ensure you meet the legal and regulatory requirements for working in schools. In addition to the requirements of each state (see below), some schools may have additional requirements.

Before and during your studies at ACCS, you’ll need to complete the following. Email to: education@ccs.edu.au

Important note: Keep a copy of all certificates so that they may be used if required when
you apply for registration and teaching positions.
