Launch a rewarding career in the education sector with a course that features embedded pathways, real-world opportunities, and extensive practical placements. This is an initial teacher education course usually studied over a period of four years. On successful completion, students will be eligible for employment in primary school contexts throughout Australia. In addition to building the professional knowledge and skills required to teach effectively, the course is designed to foster dispositions for engaging in and contributing to the teaching profession through a commitment to ongoing professional learning.

To be eligible to graduate and therefore acquire provisional teacher registration, students will be required to undertake and pass the National Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education. This test, referred to as LANTITE, is administered nationally by the Australian Council of Education Research (ACER).
Students must be in possession of a current Positive Notice Blue Card (or equivalent “Working with Children” check issued in other Australian states or territories) to be eligible for placement in a school site.
Some states and territories are requiring vaccination against COVID-19 for all school staff. Please be aware that these regulations would apply to preservice teachers. Regulations may be introduced in any state prior to, or at the time of, scheduled placement/s and all students must adhere to these requirements.
Students must meet the inherent requirements for teaching and must ensure they adhere to any requirements within the scope of teaching across the curriculum learning areas.
