Message from the Chair
On behalf of the Teacher Registration Board of the Northern Territory, I am pleased to welcome everyone back to the new school year. The Board extends a special welcome to the new members of the teaching profession – the graduate teachers who are registering for the first time. Our work as teachers is vital in helping to shape the next generation of Territorians, and so the members of the Board are fully committed to ensuring that Northern Territory schools are staffed with teachers of the highest calibre.

There are currently 4736 teachers registered in the Northern Territory.
Since August 2009, around 389 new teachers have been registered to teach and the new registrations are evenly divided between teachers registering from other states and New Zealand under the Mutual Recognition arrangements and those registering under the provisions of the Teacher Registration (Northern Territory) Act (the Act). Of this number, 81 are beginning teachers with 61 of these being graduates from either Charles Darwin University or the Bachelor Institute of Indigenous Tertiary Education.
The Board extends a warm welcome to all teachers newly registered in the Northern Territory and particularly graduate teachers who are joining the profession for the first time.
