Pre-Service Teachers
Final year pre-service teachers can now apply for Limited Registration and join our Casual Teacher Pool to work in public schools across the state.
Casual teachers play an important role supporting students when their teacher is unavailable or a school requires additional support. Casual appointments can range from three hours to four weeks at a single school or educational site.
A number of schools are using the Casual Staff Seeker, our online casual booking tool that will send you booking requests via text message based on your preferences and availability.

Step 3: Create your online Casual Staff Seeker profile.
