The Board of Teacher Registration has always sought to develop and maintain a cooperative relationship with institutions where a climate of consultation and of mutual support and respect is emphasised. The Board values diversity and creativity in patterns of, and approaches to, preservice teacher education. Through negotiation, consultation and cooperation with institutions in establishing, reviewing and implementing its guidelines, the Board hopes to encourage high quality teacher education programs without diminishing this diversity. The criteria of which eligibility for registration is assessed are academic qualifications and good character. Good' character is assessed by means of a character reference and a national police records check.
Registration is normally provisional in the first instance.
Granting of full registration is conditional on the teacher's completing a year of teaching in Queensland to the satisfaction of the Board. Charges are applicable for assessment of applications, for initial admission to the register, and for annual renewal of registration.
