Visas and skills assessments

Whether you want to teach in Australia for a couple of years or hope to migrate permanently, Australia is ready to welcome you.

Many experienced overseas teachers in Australia on short-term visas such working holiday visas, work casually through teaching agencies or on temporary contracts with schools and early childhood settings.

If you have decided that Australia is the place for you and are wanting to obtain a visa as a skilled migrant, you will need an AITSL skills assessment.

Make sure to check the Department of Home Affairs first to make sure you need one, as not all work visas require a skills assessment.

I recommend trying to connect with other teachers, especially those from other countries who have migrated to Australia. I would also advise anyone considering migrating to plan ahead as you can complete most of the process while you are still overseas. Most of all have fun, try different educational settings and broaden your experience.
