FOR YOU
Tell us who you are
NAPTOSA does different work for different stages of a teaching career. Pick the one that fits and we'll show you the most relevant starting points.
Starting your career? Start it right.
Fresh-from-university teachers pay the same monthly fee as a 20-year veteran and get the same full membership — but only if you know what to ask for. Your first two years also set your entire salary trajectory via REQV and notch placement, so the ask matters.
Excellence in Service
Professional Integrity & Protection
Labour representation, CPD workshops, and member benefits — the three things teachers ask us for most. Here's what each one actually covers.
Labour Representation
Expert legal advocacy and collective bargaining that secures your rights in the workplace.
