Applying for accreditation

​​The Teacher Registration Board of Western Australia (​​TRBWA), under the Teacher Registration Act 2012,  is responsible for the administration of an accreditation scheme for initial teacher education (ITE) programs in Western Australia.

ITE programs are assessed against the  Western Australian Standards for the Accreditation of Initial Teacher Education Programs. ​

Applications may be made to the TRBWA for the accreditation of a program, and through this process, education providers are required to demonstrate that the accreditation standards have been met. The application fee for the accreditation of an initial teacher education program is $2,256 per program submitted. Programs approved for accreditation are accredited by the TRBWA for a period not exceeding 5 years.

A list of accredited ITE programs delivered by Western Australian providers can be found on the Accredited initial teacher education programs in Western Australia page of the TRBWA website.

A list of all accredited ITE programs delivered throughout Australia can be found on the Australian Institute of Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL) website.
