The upper house committee's second public hearing into the state's chronic teacher shortage will be held on Tuesday.
It comes after federal Education Minister Jason Clare met with his state and territory counterparts in Canberra last week to discuss how to fix the crisis.
The meeting canvassed multiple issues, including labour shortages, workloads, retention issues, and considered incentives for people wanting to make a mid-career change to teaching.
Of the nearly 11,300 teachers and administrators surveyed in NSW, about 60 per cent said they planned to leave the profession in the next five years. The online survey was commissioned by the upper house committee.
The NSW inquiry also comes weeks after thousands of NSW public and Catholic school teachers walked off the job demanding better pay and conditions.
Teachers want a pay rise of five to seven per cent but the NSW government has offered a pay increase of three per cent.
Last week, NSW Education Minister Sarah Mitchell vowed to create a higher paying career path for top performing teachers.
But her plan was criticised by teachers, who said it would pit them against each other.
Teachers in NSW start on a salary of $73,737, which increases to a maximum of $117,060 if they gain accreditation as "highly accomplished" or lead teacher, while assistant principals get $126,528.
The Independent Education Union NSW/ACT, representing Catholic school teachers, lambasted the plan for failing "to address the fundamental teacher shortage that is impacting education".
"It will simply pit teachers against one another for a small pool of higher paid roles while doing nothing to address the inadequate teacher salaries that lie at the heart of the matter," the union said.
The committee on Tuesday will hear from Alphacrucis University College, a Christian liberal arts college, Dr Rachel Wilson from the School of Education and Social Work at the University of Sydney and the Science Teachers Association of NSW.
