Casual.Direct
Casual.Direct is our automated casual teacher staffing system.
This statewide service provides many advantages to our schools and our approved casual teachers.
Casual.Direct supports casual teachers
If you have current approval to teach as a casual or temporary teacher in our schools you are automatically registered with Casual.Direct. However, if you would like to register yourself, or for some reason you are not registered, please use the Casual.Direct Teacher Registration Form, and send a copy of your approval letter and registration form by fax: 9836 9257 or email to Casual.Direct@det.nsw.edu.au.
Once you have registered with Casual.Direct a staffing officer may contact you between the hours of 6.00am to 10.00am or 3.30pm to 7.30pm to offer you a casual teaching engagement. You will be advised of the school name, name of the principal, the school address and telephone number.
Teachers registered with Casual.Direct are also considered for temporary teaching opportunities by the Teacher Relief Scheme to assist schools in covering longer term temporary vacancies.
If you wish to change details on your registration, you can complete the Casual.Direct Teacher Amendment Form to update your preferences and forward it by fax or email as outlined above.
