Department of Education - Teacher Fixed Term and Relief Employment Register

A fixed-term and casual employment register is not a vacancy and inclusion on a register does not guarantee any offer of employment will be made.

Please note, as of 1 September 2016 it is a legislative requirement for everyone who works in a non-teaching regulated activity to hold Registration to Work with Vulnerable People (RWVP).

Teachers have a requirement to hold RWVP by 1 January 2017.

In July 2014 the Registration to Work with Vulnerable People Act 2013 commenced in Tasmania. The same RWVP will apply to everyone – employees, self-employed people and volunteers.  For more information and to apply for RWVP please click here

A person may be granted an exemption from providing evidence that they are vaccinated against the disease where the person demonstrates.

A person is unable to be vaccinated against the disease due to a medical contraindication if they:
