1. Conditions of Accreditation

This section applies to all accredited teachers and all applicants for teacher accreditation in NSW.  

To become and remain accredited, teachers must:

• pay the annual accreditation fee to NESA¹
• hold a current NSW Working with Children Check (WWCC) clearance for paid employment under the Child Protection (Working with Children) Act 2012  
• not be determined as being unsuitable to teach (see Section 13)
• meet the requirements of the professional teaching standards for the relevant level of accreditation; and
• comply with any other conditions specified in the rules of NESA and the TA Regulation.

The processes for teacher accreditation in NSW are managed through NESA’s electronic Teacher Accreditation Management System (eTAMS). 

_{1. The annual fee is determined by the TA Regulation and is published on the Annual fee page of the NESA website.}
