To be eligible for the registration of a new school you must first receive in-principle approval of your plans. If you are granted in-principle approval, you may then apply for provisional registration. Once your school has been provisionally registered for 12 months, you may apply for registration.
If you already operate a registered non-government school you may apply for registration of an additional campus or educational year level. The process is similar to the registration of a new school outlined above. However, you do not need to seek provisional registration before applying to be registered.
If the school offers boarding facilities, you will also need to meet further requirements prescribed by legislation.
