FAQs -Mutual Recognition

How long will my application take?

Deemed registration
Deemed registration generally takes between two and working seven days from submitting the online application.
You cannot legally be employed to teach in Tasmania until you receive notification from the Board that you hold deemed registration.

Substantive registration
Substantive registration is generally granted within one month of deeming. Occasionally the process takes longer due to factors outside of our control, including receipt of evidence from your home jurisdiction.
You can continue to teach in Tasmania on a deemed basis until you receive notification that you have been granted substantive registration, or your application is rejected. If you are refused substantive registration you must cease teaching in Tasmania immediately.

Do I need to keep my registration in the home jurisdiction?

Your registration must be current at the time you apply for registration under mutual recognition and remain current until you are granted substantive registration in Tasmania.
