CASUAL TEACHER POOL
577. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Education:
How many teachers are currently
registered on the Department of Education's casual teacher pool?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
The Department of Education does not
have a pool for casual teachers; the department has a centrally managed casual
staff seeker tool. As at 16 May 2024, 5 169 teachers were registered as ''active''
within this tool. ''Active'' means that the casual applicant has
registered for casual work and is available to work. Many schools also have
their own supply of relief teachers in addition to being able to access
teachers via the tool.
