If you have any queries regarding your Brisbane Catholic Education (BCE) verification status, please note that while ClassCover displays the status, the process is managed by the BCE Relief Staff Team.
To check your verification status, please contact the BCE Relief Staff Team via reliefstaff@bne.catholic.edu.au.
If you’re looking to work at Brisbane Catholic Education (BCE) schools, you’ll first need to set up a free ClassCover profile. BCE uses ClassCover to ensure all relief staff meet the required standards before starting work at their schools.
Once relief staff positions become available, BCE will contact you to process your application.
What You’ll Need Before You Apply
Before you submit your BCE verification, please review the BCE Relief Teaching Page for information on eligibility requirements.
If you haven’t already, you’ll need to create a free profile on ClassCover – as we are the elected platform used by Brisbane Catholic Education (BCE) schools to connect with and book relief staff.
