NSW Public Register of teachers

Anyone can search the Public Register. Returned results will display a teacher’s:

• Full name
• NESA Accreditation number; and
• Type of accreditation (Active).

By searching the Public Register, you will be able to confirm a teacher’s accreditation.

Not all NSW teachers appear on the Public Register. Teachers who are on a Leave of Absence or have been granted an exclusion by NESA will not appear.

Some individuals employed in a school or early childhood service may not be required to be an accredited teacher because they are delivering courses not developed or endorsed by NESA (e.g. religious or cultural studies courses).

If you have concerns about a teacher who is not listed on the Public Register, you may contact their school/service. NESA cannot provide information about an individual teacher’s accreditation to members of the public other than through the Public Register.

The Public Register is updated in real time. Read more about the NSW Public Register of teachers.
