To prepare for submitting your application you can:

Prepare your supporting documentation including:

• a statement of service confirming your last day of teaching in NSW if you were previously accredited at Proficient Teacher or HALT
• an overseas criminal history check if you resided overseas for 12 consecutive months or more in the past 5 years.

Submit your application and all supporting documents to NESA at reaccreditation@nesa.nsw.edu.au

You will receive an email prompt to complete 3 tasks in your NESA online account (eTAMS).

The tasks allow the nationally coordinated criminal history check to begin:

1. Complete the declaration task.
2. Consent to a nationally coordinated criminal history check.
3. Provide identity link verification by uploading a photo of yourself holding your photo ID.

Once completed, you will receive an invoice to pay the $100 re-accreditation application fee. 

To progress your application, you need to pay the fee and any other outstanding accreditation fees.

You will receive an email from us once we receive your application.

We may request more information from your current or previous employers.

We assess your application and notify you of:

• the decision
• your level of re-accreditation 
• your maintenance timeframe, if applicable.
