To be eligible to undertake your Professional Experience you are required to obtain a Good Character Check clearance from the Teachers Registration Board (TRB), Tasmania, or state equivalent.
Pre-service teachers wishing to undertake a Professional Experience placement in another state or territory of Australia can use their Good Character Check Clearance from the Tasmanian Teacher Registration Board.
Pre-service teachers who are located interstate or outside of Australia require the relevant clearance/s.
In addition to obtaining a Good Character Check clearance, students enrolled in the Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood) must also undergo a Safety Screening Assessment from the Department of Education.
N.B. You cannot commence your Professional Experience placement until confirmation has been received that you have obtained the relevant clearance. You should allow 4-6 weeks for applications to be processed.
