TAFE Teaching Service Registration Board

Full description

Establishment

The TAFE (Technical and Further Education) Teaching Service Registration Board was established under section 78 of the Post-Secondary Education Act 1978 in 1983.

Membership

Membership consisted of a chairman appointed by the Minister, State Training Board representatives and representatives of the TAFE teaching profession.

Functions

The functions of the Board were to:

- determine the eligibility of applicants for registration and provisional registration

- determine the eligibility of nominees for initial appointment to TAFE Teaching Service, TAFE Management Service and Support Service positions; and

- determine eligibility of teachers for transfer and promotion positions.

The Board was also responsible for determining the commencement salaries for new appointments, reassessing salaries on the basis of additional qualifications and approving courses leading to fully qualified status.

Abolition

The Board was abolished under section 22 of the Vocational Education and Training (College Employment) Act 1993.

A consequence of this act was passing the power of hiring staff directly to the Councils of each TAFE College.
