AUSTSWIM is excited to introduce the AUSTSWIM Assessor Online Module. This module has been specifically designed to guide teachers through all aspects of the AUSTSWIM Assessor role, which is to assess the teaching competency of trainee AUSTSWIM teachers after they have gained an appropriate amount of experience under the supervision of their Training Supervisor/s.

In order for AUSTSWIM Teachers to be eligible to assess a trainee teacher’s competency, they are required to undertake and complete this Online Module.

The Online Module is free of charge and gives AUSTSWIM Teachers an automatic 2 hours of professional development towards their Teacher licence renewal (minimum requirements are required to apply).

Applications

For applications to be considered, applicants need to have the endorsement of their workplace, or if self-employed a referee must be provided. Referees may be contacted as part of the approval process.
Workplace Policies

Applicants should note that each workplace/swim centre can self-manage how the supervised training experience and competency assessment process is conducted within their centre. Centres may appoint AUSTSWIM assessors as deemed appropriate to their specific conditions, therefore obtaining status of AUSTSWIM Assessor through the online module does not automatically result in performing this role within the workplace.
Assessor Identification

On successful completion of the online module, AUSTSWIM Assessors will receive an updated Teacher Licence.

Please note: All AUSTSWIM Assessors MUST provide AUSTSWIM with a current Working With Children Check (WWCC) (follow the link to find individual requirements for your State/Territory Click here
