The Australian Teacher Workforce Survey is now open
CaSPA encourages you to complete the Australian Teacher Workforce Survey.
Your experience as a principal is unique. Have your say in the annual Australian Teacher Workforce Survey and share more about your experiences in the profession and the challenges you face.
The Australian Teacher Workforce Survey is now open in most states and territories, please refer to the table below for administration periods.
The workforce is stretched, time is limited, and filling out an extra survey can add to the load, but we need to hear from you and teachers to help us understand how to build a more sustainable teaching profession. We invite you to take 10-15 minutes out of your busy schedules to complete the survey.
Can you help to reach more teachers?
As leaders, you play a crucial role in fostering engagement and can significantly impact teacher response rates. In fact, when leaders and mentors in schools advocate for teachers to complete the survey or set aside time for their staff to do so, response rates soar. We would greatly appreciate your help to encourage your teachers to participate by sending out the sample email attached and, if possible, setting aside time in a staff meeting for teachers to complete the survey.
Check your inbox: All registered teachers will receive a unique survey link via email from their teacher regulatory authority when the survey opens in their state or territory.
Responses to the Australian Teacher Workforce Survey are confidential and will be de-identified before inclusion in the ATWD. No teacher or school will be identified. Read more about how your privacy is protected in the survey.

The Australian Teacher Workforce Survey is part of the Australian Teacher Workforce Data (ATWD) initiative and is the biggest survey of the teaching profession in Australia.
