Teacher Accreditation

All teachers require active accreditation with the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) to teach in any school or centre-based early childhood service in NSW. Find out how to become a teacher and get accredited, and how to maintain your professional practice against the teaching standards.

Accreditation for teachers in NSW ensures professional standards are met and maintained. The process involves demonstrating teaching proficiency through evidence of practice, ongoing professional development, and adherence to the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers. This accreditation supports career growth and enhances the quality of education across schools.
