Use our frequently asked questions to help you find your way around the Australian Teacher Aide website and to learn more about our professional development for teacher aides, schools and training organisations.

Live Web Events

Are the live web events recorded?

Yes, all our webinars are recorded and uploaded to the Professional Development library where they are accessible to members at any time.

We want to join a live web event from school. How do we do this?

We use Go To Webinar to deliver all our live web events. Go To Webinar is used world-wide and is considered one of the best quality systems for hosting online events. There is a possibility your school network will block this application. To ensure you can register and attend our live webinars from school, check the approval process with your Principal or IT team, and allow sufficient time for the webinar application to be made available on the school network.

Alternatively, if you have a personal device with data, you could use that too.

We have workplace information, including links to certified agreements for most states and territories, which address pay levels and progression requirements. You can access this information on the page, Workplace Information.
